Catching up on various post, I see from the newsletter for former pupils that the late cricket coach Bob Woolmer studied at my old school.

Now that I’ve read it, it’s jogged a memory of my dad (knowledgeable about both cricket and my school’s alumni) telling me the same many years ago, when I wouldn’t have known who Bob Woolmer was.

Other illustrious ex-pupils include the actor Alec McCowen, Doctor Who stunt man Tip Tipping, and, er, TV presenter Nick Knowles.
