Hope you had better success than my two Uncle's that attended Hymers! Between them I think they managed an O Level in Music.
It's not been of any advantage in life at all really, other than ensuring I'd never let my own kids anywhere near the place. The kids were treated like **** when I was there (except the rich ones, obviously). Anyway, off topic...
How long ago were you there!?!? I was there in the 90s as a poor kid on an assisted place and I was treated really bloody well, apart from the repeated bollockings and detentions, which in retrospect were well deserved......that was the advantage for me in hindsight, if i'd gone to Bev Grammer or Longcroft i'd not have got the disciplined education I needed
@reluctantnicko: Too many snags in Richards move from Villa to West Ham by looks Villa may be unable to get rid of Richards
