Phil back this Tuesday 29th March, quiz as normal.

I live at Handsworth, married since 1972 still with same wife and have two daughters 35 and 38years old. I'm retired at the moment, retired sick after nearly 25 years bus driving in Sheffield, started on buses after leaving Moore & wright. I remember your dad buying a 1965 ford corsair, I think it was british racing green he then had it sprayed orange (tango) colour. I compare a music and general knowledge quiz at the anglers rest pub on richmond park road handsworth on tuesday night starting at 22:00hrs, bit like been a dj, you will have to bring your dad.

May be your dad was the first mobile disco to start in the area also having several regular venues. Started with a dark green bedford van packing many work friends in it giving them a lift home from work (moore & wright). I think the name roadrunner had a lot to do with the success, what a great name. All the venues used to get packed always full to the limit and more. Great times were had by all, and it all started in the late 60s, best music ever.

I know the teachers but not the pupils, youre right about Katie Blyth, Peter Houghton became a Sheffield councillor. I left in 1967. Phil Ashley from Swallownest

Anglers Rest Pub, Handsworth, Tuesday nights. Starts just after ten, free quiz, 8 cans for winner, open the box. General knowledge and music quiz. Good fun quiz.

That's right about Neil he did work for himself has a chippy. Derrick lived at Aughton. Steve Layne was in my class he did are still does a quizz in the Black Bull, I do a quizz in my local pub at Handsworth on Tuesday night at the Anglers Rest, just come home now from doing it, been doing it for over 16 years, Paul Foster did come in one night a few years ago, call in one tuesday to have ago starts just after ten.

Bowler, that's him, he was a nice lad, I liked him. I knew Neil Marsh very well, I think he was in my class at some time. Fletcher must have started after I left. Can't believe I got Paul Foster mixed up for Bowler. I liked Paul he had a good sense of humour. Horners used to have a VW beetle car number plate '8 tal' I think, a creamy white one I remember it well, maybe because my dad had one at the same time. Do you remember my cousin Derrick Clarry. I was in Sherwood 1, Miss Fields was our leader what ever. Four groups I think Sherwood, Rotherwood, Ivanoe and Hallam went from 1 to 7.

Just come to me Paul is fine he started working for himself a few years ago in waste oil and things like that, I don't mean Paul Curley it was a lad about the same age who lived on Wesley Avenue who died in a car accident near Ulley reservoir many years ago now. I do know Paul Foster very well, it shows you how rumors start, my memory is not as good as it used to be. There was another games teacher I think called something like Mr Soliuble not sure how it was spelt. I had the slipper of Mr Gadd a few times and he also used the end of the rope in the gym. Do you remember the husbad and wife taem called Horner who used to teach RE.

I left in 1967, Mr Smith was manager of the football team I was in. Remember Derrick Roberts and Paul Foster, did Paul die I'm not sure. I'm that little bit older. Mr Jackson was one of my teachers also Mr Gad, Mr Hukin, Mr Stubbins, Miss Fields, Mr Blower and Mr Kid the music teacher he plays the organ at Handsworth church. I left at 15 Ithink it changed to 16 may be the year after

Yes he did, I worked with him at Moore and Wrights when he started the Roadrunner, then he went teaching at Stannington College, I am sure he still lives in Swallownest/Aston area. Phil

She might know my sister better she turned 60 last year, Susan Ashley, I'm 2 to 3 years younger.

Hi Bryan and Rod I was in the same class as you Rod, remember you at the Top Rank you must have only been about 17 when you started DJ ing, do you remember the twin sisters that danced on stage at the Rank. Bryan I played in that football team also with David Sneath, Raymond Roberts, Steve Layne, Ronald Hillyard ( goal keeper for York City), Eric Blakemoor, David Slack, Graham Hough, Ian Haigh, Bryan Copley and Andrew Marshall, Robert Hall played in goal he was a big mate of mine in the early to mid 60s we both supported Rotherham United. Mr Smith was the manager of the football team. Phil Ashley

Ray Banks to my knowledge was living in Derbyshire.

Malcolm Beaumont nick name was pinner, he was Roadrunner partner from the begining with Ray Banks and Alan Jenkins. Phil Ashley
