I'm living proof that not everyone from Dinas Baglan Road is posh - born & lived there until I got married & moved to Swansea.
Unfortunately I lived in a bog standard semi & not one of the larger houses

Not really, I escaped to Swansea in 86 & haven't really been back since!
My grandfather & father both worked in the steelworks but by the time I was leaving school in the early 80's Thatcher had struck & it was in a mess.
My old man took early retirement in 1980 & warned me not to follow the family tradition & do something different so I started in the DVLC - mistake!

I left Glan Afan in 78. We must have just missed each other.

Did you know Phil Nicholas the French teacher?

Ah, I had no idea. My parents were friendly with one of his neighbours so I knew him to chat to. He was alright - real shame.
Did O levels in 81 & A levels in 83 so you were a few years older than me.

 

[Hunnymonster]

I remember Mr Nicholas. Very quick witted. Used to see him regularly out walking.
