You do have a point.

i went to Oakwood then Ducie I tried getting into Parrswood but as I live in Chorlton I had no chance. I suppose I could have gone to Trinity but I am not sure why that wasn't an option.

Ducie wasn't as bad as it was made out though, yes it was very rough but it had some very good teachers.

Burnage was a bit too far me and I didn't like the idea of going to an all male school.

Oakwood has since changed its name to Chorlton High and it seems to be more concerned with the Bee Gee's and press coverage than its pupils so nothing has changed since 1994 when my parents took me out of the school.

My sisters choice came down to either Whalley Range or Stretford Grammar.
