My first week teaching!
It was my first week teaching at a SE London secondary school, 3 senior staff were coming in to observe the lesson, they arrived a few minutes late and all the seats had been taken. I asked a pupil (Geraldine) "Can we have 3 chairs for the visitors, please?!" She responded "Hip hip hooray....."

The new Irish bar in Lake.
I thought I would try out the new IRISH bar in Lake. I bought a pint and then went to the gents', I got back and my pint had disappeared, I mentioned it to the landlord and he said it happened quite often, he says the guilty party was probably Nick McGuinness.

About Me
- Steve
- My first 21 years were in BRISTOL, Monks Park until I was 18, 3 years at Redland Teacher Training College then off to the bright lights of London for 10 years. Living in Horfield from the early 50s my dad took me to Eastville to watch the Rovers regularly, the first team mainly but often to see the reserves as well. I joined the supporters' club in the mid 60s and was membership secretary of the junior club, eventually taking over as chairman after the famous Gordon J Bennett left. In 1969 I moved to SE London to start my teaching career.I taught at Crown Woods, Eltham and Thomas Tallis in SE London and the next 27 years at Lake Middle School on the Isle of Wight. My main subject was mathematics and I taught a lot of PE concentrating mainly on football. Whilst in London I played football for Ramsgate, Faversham Town, Carshalton Athletic and Corinthian Casuals. My wife bought a half share in STROLLERS beach cafe in 2006 and I spend a lot of time with the customers. Viewing some of the pictures on this site will give you an idea of how I spend my leisure time.
