I’m trying to work out how old you are for these to be the two schools you mentioned - assuming you went to both, like I did.
I’d say your younger than me (41) otherwise Howardian would have been in the list, but then llanedeyrn only closed in 2014 so you could be as young as 21, but then you mentioned John Toshack who was way before my time so... ah **** it, you’re a time traveller.
