In 1979, Ian Durie and the Blockheads released Reasons to be Cheerful.
It was just after 1979 that I taught Darren who was indeed “too nutty to be naughty”. Darren contacted me last month.
“Hi Mr Wood, I don’t know if you remember me as I know you taught loads of my pals and other kids! But I would like to say thanks for your input in to my education and moulding me in to a positive person!
“I worked for an architect before I became sick but even then I still fought to get back to work and finished up at Scottish Gas for the last 10 year of my working life and had to medically retire in 2007 after another stroke! I am still fighting and still looking for my pals from school! You are looking great! Cheers Darren.”
