Re: Martin Fords clothes shop

Nothing to do with the subject really it's just the name cought my eye. The Martin Ford I know races formula 2 Stockcars number 19. So that's how he funds his racing.

Re: Martin Fords clothes shop

lol, The shop where we were mean't to get our uniform from, didn't fit me, they were too big, so i had a green gingham dress for summer with green cardi and grey pinafore for winter, courteousy of C & A and a tie on elastic from wollies I think!!!

Re: Martin Fords clothes shop

Well the Gingham & The pinafore sounds like yow were significantly posher than what we were. The teachers were happy if we just turned up

I remember Bell bottom trousers with pockets on the side which were the height of fashion I'll have you know. Standing in assembly with head bowed trying to get it so that the bell bottoms totally covered your platform shoes

Too much info again

It was a really strict Catholic School, don't know about posh so much. We had regular Teahcers, Nuns and Preists.
