Even as a Bristolian (north), it's an area I've hardly ever visited... keep driving!

No wonder you're so well read, having been schooled in Harrow.

Is that well read or well red?

Is that well read or well red?

I'm happy with either.

CLassrooms in my old school are still going strong after 800 years:

In my day that was the library above the arch - these days it's classrooms.
I think they have restored the left hand tower as well - again only the one on the right was usable 30 years ago.
Those houses in the foreground were the masters lodgings for those supervising the boarding houses.

My old primary is now a supermarket and my secondary a housing estate. 😕

My alma mater.

Like me, now a slowly crumbling wreck and shadow of its former self.

School in Edinburgh (the rest of the buildings are nowhere near as grand):

School in LA (well, my bit of it anyway):

Very different in style both educationally and architecturally.

Vaguely relevant to current events, apparently Maradona's ancestors hailed from Galicia and not from Italy.

(Google translate will do a reasonable job).

Other (in)famous people with Galician ancestry are the Castro family (you'll be familiar with Fidel and Raúl), and Francisco Franco. Martin Sheen (real name Ramón Estévez) somewhat evens out the legacy.

You're late to the party man. Everything is editable with the correct tools at hand.

I went to Uni with some old Harrovians. They lived in digs in Streatham and told everyone they lived in Saint Reatham (this was in the days before South of the river was popular). Yes, they were as boorish as you might imagine!

Hope you had a good time. Welcome back.
