Is that the Shaper (Collinge) who was a narcissistic little bully when he was teacher at the "comp" and would take misbehaving pupils out of the classroom to challenge them to a fist/karate fight.

Ahh the old days.

Im Leo Lieghio, i was 8 back in 65. We had the Fish n Chip Shop with the Barbecue snack bar right next to the Apollo. It was great seeing the old place like it used to be. The shop at the corner of the butchers was called Findlaters. I remember most of the shops. Roches chemist next door, the Mahons up the road O'Briens and the ABC. I remember my brother Joe god rest him being great friend with Willie Madden, and other ushers, and how they used to sneak us in my brother Anthony and i for free.
