I left Shawlands school in 1963 or 1964.

Maybe my father taught you lobey, think he was there from 62-66.

It was a no nonsense school back then. All our teachers had Lochgelly Belts, over their shoulders but under their jackets.

They could whip out that belt and whack your hands quicker than John Wayne could draw his 6-shooter.

I was threatened with the Lochgelly regularly. In fact my father still has his, even though he retired in 1984.

Lucky you that you only got threatened with it.

I was a regular "reciever".

Looks like the kid on the right is wearing trainers, didn't think they were invented then? ; )

I think you will find that they are wooden clogs.

What a cracking photo. I bet you Ayrshire in those days was an amazing place to live, it's pretty much the pits these days sadly. *puts moaning face on* but then it seems everywhere in the UK is going that way.

Oh aye, the rickets and diptheria really spiced the day up.
