Well it’s my third week as 'King Jim' and doesn’t time fly? The football season is upon us again which makes me rather sad as it heralds summer’s end. Next month brings the Autumnal Equinox, which brings back happy memories of my schooldays and a wonderful Geography teacher who instilled in me a great interest of the weather and Earth sciences.
I went to a Grammar school in East London. A Catholic establishment, it had associated within its confines a Technical and a Secondary Modern school. Something of an early prototype for today’s Comprehensives I suppose. So I had the somewhat surreal experience of conjugating Latin verbs followed ten minutes later playing football in the playground with boys whose career paths led them to relieving Banks of their raison d’etre. I must say you learnt some harsh lessons very quickly. Like, do not tackle a lad from Form 5F, or it would certainly signal the end of your participation in the game.
