The Oldies Thread

I dropped geography in my final 5th year & opted for a new subject on offer - Environmental Studies - a far more interesting subject back then in the early 1970s - which the teacher forecast that working life people would retire aged 60 years old as the growth of leisure pursuits wold be thriving lush a possible chance of an ice age in the future the way the climate was changing ....
Overall though a very interesting new subject !

I enjoyed geography, got a G1 CSE (1968). Sadly only got a G2 English, my favourite subject, after what looked like a nailed-on G1 after my coursework throughout. I must have really screwed the written exam. I understand now that I've been diagnosed with a lifetime of ADHD but, at the time, I was devastated because I wanted to become a journalist.
