Blasts from the Aycliffe past

Met up with a couple of old school friends from my days at the Avenue Comprehensive (the site is now a Tesco Extra) in Newton Aycliffe. Darren I had seen every so often over the years anyway but Stefan Jose I hadn't seen since I left that provincial backwater in 1984, nearly 24 years on. Daft thing is, Stefan has been here in Bournemouth since '97, the year after we came down ourselves.

Balding heads and aching joints - we're all getting on! All that was missing was Scott Walker and it would have been a full house.
