There were some brilliant teachers and staff at the school wasn't there? My fav memory of Burncross School was at Christmas time. You knew when the tree was up in the assembly hall before you even saw it as you could smell the pine right through the halls of the main building, then the first sight of it was just magical! That's when you knew it was Christmas! And those backdrops they put out above the stage! When I first started it was a snowy scene with kids throwing snowballs and sledging, then they replaced it with a Santa & sleigh scene flying over the roof tops (which Andrew Sylvester's mum came into school to paint!) Oh, and the handmade cardboard postbox outside the dinner hall for you to put your Christmas Cards in! How wonderful - happy days! I know exactly what you mean! Everyone having Christmas dinner together in the hall as well! Those were the days eh?! My brother went to Ecclesfield the year it closed and my cousin moved to Windmill, infact Frank1985, he was probably in the same year as you.

Gareth and Joann were both in my class too. I think that might have been Cheryl Axelby, she was older than me though. Do you remember Mrs Addy? I see her most weeks, I help run Chapeltown Playgroup and she usually comes with her grandson. I recently did a placement at Lound Junior school, it was so weird sitting in the staff room with Mr Lee there, I felt like I was about 8 again!

Yes, that's right Sarah Larkings. Her mum died when she was 7. Michelle Perks did live a couple of doors down from her, she was also in our class. I'm sure there was someone else in our class lived there as well, Paul Jenkins if I remember right. Mrs Johnson also lived down there, she was really nice, I heard she died too a while back

No I didn't, that was my best friend Sarah, it will be her that you remember, although we were always together! We are still best friends now! She had a younger sister called Rachel and they lived there with their dad.

Yes, I do remember you! Me and Melissa were in the same class. Did you live on Charlton Brook? My name was Casson, well it is now again since I got divorced!

Hi, too right! What's your name? I surely must know who you are?!

I went to Burncross School 1984-1991. I loved that place! I want a picture of the outside, I know that there are a few limited edition drawings of it but can't get one There are pics of the outside in some of the Chapeltown & High Green history books.

Hi, I can recommend a good plasterer - Russell 0778344545, he did a great job for my mum, very fair and friendly. I also know a good decorator if anyone ever needs one - Julian 07531942118.

I had Mr Hewatt, he was always a good laugh! I heard he's got a kid now.

I went to Ecclesfield, I left in '96. My mum also used to be a teacher there.

Don't know about him swapping me, I'd get rid of him any time and for free.

Your totally right Hazel, I agree with you 100%

"popping off" my nanna always called it that, so my 4 year old does now.

Look in the yellow pages, there is a place in Downham Market, norfolk (strange I know advertising in Sheffield!), they do all sort sof Vauxhall second hand parts (in fact I'm sick of buying parts for Vauxhall's We've got two and it's a nightmare!). Ring them and ask them for what you want, they'll tell you if they have any. We got a petrol tank for a 2ltr Vectra sri for £45 inc delivery, bargain! Rang up Saturday, received it on Tuesday. Give them a ring, it's worth a try.
