just remembered
for the last four years - I have been taught the various subjects of geograhy/history (year 8), english (years nine and 10) and now A - level History by the same teacher.
this teacher, a 6'9&1/2", gangly giant of a man, has helped me through a bucketload of crappy times.
Great for a laugh, lets you get away with just about anything in the classes, but just one of those teachers who will go the extra bit to help his students.

So. Mr King. If you are reading this. Thanks. You're a fucking legend and have been one of the few teachers who make school worthwhile.

I suppose it's a bit of a long shot
But....black / brown hair, used to teach all of those subjects at Dumpton?
