Christ almighty.
We had a few kids from the travelling community there when I was at school, but there were never any blades.

If you had a row with someone, you sorted it out 'on the cobbles' - which is much better. You don't fall out with the nutters on account of you losing the 'fight'. Neither did the nutters go out of their way to annoy the 'normal/clever kids' as hitting someone would leave a mark.

With blades, anyone with the 'rage' is liable to use one.

I can't believe anyone would take a knife to school.

I assume the blade was on her
it wasn't produced, but she certainly carried it with her.

The school was a bit of a madhouse towards the end.

Just as well it closed.
The kids from the travelling community when I was there, were just 'fighting people'.

But they were all 'good Catholic lads'.... When it suited them.

It wasn't a bad place
It gave me points on my UCAS form (I did my GCSES in a year there)

I'll reply to this post, as a reply to the original post. This has scrolled too far to the right.
