1985
I'm not quite that old
St Lawrence from about 1983 to 1988 and Downlands from 88 to 93.
One of the Cornfords was in my brother's year (one below me) and another one was a year older (Jamie??). I seem to recall at least one of them were into horses, which obviously if you were a teenage boy meant you were permanently labelled gay, as is the way of schoolkids.
I didn't know Stumpy Tim personally, though I knew of him. He was in the year above me at Downlands.
I can't remember what his username is on here, but there's another St Lawrence/Withdean regular on here, who used to live at the top of Cuckfield Road, near Manor Road.

Wasn't Brooksey a friend of Ian Cuss - brother of Albion ball boy legend, Keith?
Well sort of a friend.I know him as well but didn't really knock around with him as he was much older.I also know the Albion's groundsman well.Use to knock around with his younger brother.Anyway,have a good one and i'll have a beer next time i'll see you.By the way,Leave Frank along BHAEpress.He isn't a bad bloke

Do me a favour, I'd have been about fourteen when they got rid of the police station in Hurst!
But if you were the local hard-nut I'm sure the kids all knew who you were anyway, it's a small place. Was it you who used to leave all the porn mags in the woods near Fairfield Rec?

NSC's Most Stalked
there is one in the front of the club shop window
The one who was into horses was probably Liam, and he really is a fully paid up gayer these days apparently.edna krabappel said:
Ah, that must mean that I left the school the same year as you arrived, which is a pity because I can't now say I FANCIED you at school without being exposed as a liar.edna krabappel said:
Then again, you'd have to worry about a 16 year old who fancied an 11 year old so I probably wouldn't have said it anyway.

No,I was more into other crimes
I was very well known in Hurst.Mainly with the police.But that was years ago.

Ah but in those innocent days you probably only had to get ticked off by the police for possession of a bit of weed for all the local kids to convey instant hard-nut status on you and turn you into a bit of a local legend. I remember being horrified when a lad a couple of years older than me told a teacher to shut up. How times change...
If I remember correctly, there was a family called Wickens whom all the local kids had down as practically on a level with the Krays, despite the fact they probably never did anything to warrant it

Manor Gardens I presume.
I wouldn't say I lived in the posh part, but it was a step up from Willow Way
There was Fairfield Rec, and another park down Willow Way, but most of us kids were too scared to go to the one down there, as local legend had it it was used by pikeys and pervs

and another
I went to St Lawrence till 1979. Downlands till '83 (I was a year below the Albion groundsman - Steve - refered to above). Lived in the High Street until '87 then Western Road for a couple of years.
It's a Hurst Lovefest!!!

I bet even if you were at St Lawrence in 1979, either Mr Corrie or Mr Colgate were still there.
One word out of place in their lessons and they'd chuck the nearest object at you, be it chalk, pens, books or even a chair.
Kids these days, they have no idea *Hovis music kicks in*

You Hurst lot - Did you know a Husband and Wife called Bob & Phyllis Robinson? They used to go to the New Inn a lot and played bowls for Hurst. Bit of a long shot, I know!

Don't know if you mean me (!), but I was indeed at St Lawrence until 1986, when I was rather unreasonably hauled down to Cornwall
I lived at 35a, just down from Maxim Lamps.Mr Colgate was a legend! I remember accidently twatting him with an apple core. As it was my 9th birthday he let me off with a lecture!! What a guy!
