Even Peebles isn't so slow at getting news that it isn't aware of it's own school being on fire until several days later.

 

It's happening now:

My partner is a teacher there, she is saying it's a mess. Good news that everyone is safe but staff are devastated.

Said kids were outside cheering at the fire 🙄

PHS lots of memories of that place, not all bad either, must have had at least one or two days that were ok.

 

I've a niece at PHS so will hear what the story is from her.

 

Glad everybody is safe & accounted for.

We spent years trying to burn that place down (mainly in McKenzie's chemistry class) so fair play to the wee bollocks that finally did it....

 

(that's tongue in cheek btw)

Chemistry class you say, don't tell me yous mixed all different chemicals together hoping they would explode?

 

Shocking behaviour, things like that were never tried when I was there.

Or leaving one lit and every other one turned on but not lit.

 

Funny how they same things were done in different generations, we did all that in the mid '70's, you in the 80's & my laddie in the 00's.  😂
