Fragile Do Not Bend Mar 2020 5:04pm, 3 Mar 2020 5,486 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend This thread prompted me to look up a girl from my secondary school class, last time I looked she’d had a few small television parts and I wondered if she was still acting. Turns out she’s been a regular in Emmerdale for seven years.
BaronessBL Mar 2020 5:36pm, 3 Mar 2020 8,127 posts	0 BaronessBL I haven't looked up my school yet but my favourites on this thread so far are Barry Grant in Brookside and - absolute favourite - Peggy Woolley in The Archers. HB I am guessing you didn't know this before we went to 'Ambridge' as that should have given you 10 bonus points in the quiz from the start (not that we needed them)

Wriggling Snake Mar 2020 5:46pm, 3 Mar 2020 25,711 posts	0 Wriggling Snake I think my favourite has changed from Harold Wilson to Curt Smith, Tears for Fears Bell End I don't quite agree but I have been chuckling away for ages. A list of uni Mottos (is it spelt mottos?) en.wikipedia.org

BaronessBL Mar 2020 5:49pm, 3 Mar 2020 8,128 posts	0 BaronessBL I've now looked up my school's Alumni - four people who I have never heard of although I think from her age one of them (an actress who has been in The Bill, Casualty, Holby City, Doctors and so on) must have actually been in my year. Among these four is someone who was in Love Island last year. The headmistress at the time I was there would be spinning in her grave if she knew that.
