…And helium continues its sink, presumably.
Note: In case you were wondering, Bob Birrell was my chemistry teacher. He was also North of England Champion 120-yards hurdler (1960—62, 64, 66—69), and reached the quarter finals of the 110 metres hurdles in the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome, which he ran in 14.82s.
It seems he also won the NoE 220yd hurdles in 1961 too. What a guy.
What are you, some kind of anorak or something.
He never taught me, but he was a very modest man and it was some years after I started at BS that I even found out he’d been in the Olympics. I was just “googling” him when I found your comment.
Pete Scurfield was the big star, North of England RU scrum half – “Sir” was on telly!!!
(Yes I know headmaster Gwilliam was Welsh RU captain, but he was so universally detested nobody cared about the sanctimonious p****)
