Money makes the world go around!

Jump into the Tardis and go back in time and find out the REAL reason and help us all!!

I was a pupil at St David Lewis as was my brother and sister, when Mrs Hornsby was the headmistress and Father McAuliffe was the local priest. I see the sister of a lad in my class, Rachel Lawrence who's brother is Brendan is in this video. It's a shame I have loads of memories of when I was there, Mr Lucas taking us swimming, the day they put up the huts, my first game of rugby, loads of things. It would have been nice to go back there one day. Too late now not long till the houses go up I bet.
