It is a great pleasure to see old School friends and relive the past carefree days even though we all had very little money, but were still happy without Computers. Tablets, and Mobile Phones and fast Cars.

There was at my School and i know some men who actually love their School friends better than their wives/partners. The bond is so great.

Nor would I , I got a card sent by a woman who I hadn"t seen for 40 odd years,who had moved to Canada, right out the blue.
How she got my details , I will never know, I just ignored it TBH.I had married and moved several times.
Although a friend did say you should have got in contact and asked.Still too late now .
I just thought it weird, perhaps I have got a suspicious mind.

Very True.

I was at a single sex school (yes that means girls ) and a lot of them were always trying to outdo each other. Tedious and unpleasant.
I had SPOTS !!!

The film 'Romy and Michele's High School Reunion' is reminiscent of school days ... vaguely, kind of, maybe

Nice film anyway.

Not a pleasant experience for you then.

My school was mixed with the girls competing with the boys.
We had lots of fun as well.

That was in the days when boys were well behaved and had some manners.

I disliked secondary school. My primary school was very near home but Grammar school was a half hour train ride away and not many of the girls lived near me.

Even though I became spotty, I did go out with one of the best looking boys at the boys' school

On Friends United, now gone, it was disconcerting to be contacted by people who claimed to know you from School Days and you had no idea who they were!

Luckily they did not give out addresses or Email's so you could ignore them.
Imagine some one turning up at the family home out of the blue !

Going out with the best look boys at the boy's school must be a very happy memory.

Bumped into each other somewhere but I wouldn't want to meet him again.
