Mine’s new motto is Veritas est via, which apparently means ‘truth is the way’. If I’m honest, this is an improvement on the previous, which was ‘without the way, there is no going, without the truth, there is no knowing.’ Which is, let’s face it, a bit shit and not very catchy.

Carol Chell, Stella Rimmington (both a long time before me) and I was in the same year as Sudha Kheterpal who plays percussion with Faithless and has played with various other big names. Just looked at her Wiki page and can verify that the DOB given there was actually the year she went into secondary school.

Erm, Anna Kumble (Lolly) was a couple of years above me at school. The only other famous person was Connie Talbot who I believe left my old school rather suddenly.
