I went to Mortimer in the late 1960's, and one of my teachers was a Mr Smith (taught games, plus a subject I can't remember).

I heard that he'd killed himself. Can anyone give any more details, please? I'd be especially interested in when and where it happened, so I can look it up in the local newspapers. Thanks.

My point proven.

I too was educated at Mortimer Road County Secondary School,
and I wasn't clever, I was a very average pupil.

I also don't think I'm clever, but quite a few people on these boards
seem to think I am.

i went there 63-74 and cant remember him (although at my age memory does play tricks)
who was the tall teacher that often took games and also english maybe ?? when mizen was not around??

edit just remembered it was Shaw (memory coming back now)

hello mal,

tony shaw

i think he was from somewhere in lancashire

I don't know of many former pupils who would ever admit to going there either.

didnt he play pro football for somebody but got crocked and turned to teaching

Manny was ok andy i thought
Upton was a bit of a tw@t like

Yes John Smith Maths and Games teacher.
Rottenest dirty b*****d there was.

Killed himself (hanging) at his bail hostel.

charged with s*x with an eight year old girl.

As he was in a bail hostel it was probably a relative.

He was the nastiest s**t I've ever come across.

Hi memor,

First time I have visited the site in quite some time and am glad to see you are still active.

Have a great Christmas and New Year.

Regards

Mr Smith did teach Games and Maths, I didn't like him at all, first time I was in his class and we had to say who we were , he said not another Clark, he hated my elder brother, and from that day he was always rotten to me. This is memory of school always sticks with me, He threw books at me when he went off in one of his tempers.

Well I'm pleased to say, that as far as I'm aware he's not a member of my branch of the family.

Young Jim !!!
