Written by Gary Wernham

Went school in morning got CSE results. Went home in afternoon and night. Sav the Conroy’s and loads of kids came in our house. I asked Sav about Cath, he said she kept asking was I going out with anyone, he thinks she fancies me bet it’s not true he’s probably only saying that. I’ve never liked any girl as much as Catherine.

C.S.E Results
Chemistry Grade 4
Community Studies Grade 3
English Grade 4
Geography Grade 3
Tech. Drawing Grade 3
Maths Grade 4

Maths and English very disappointing others not bad*.

* Not the best exam results in the world but in the words of Mrs.Hughes, I am not academically brilliant. I was rather complacent when it came to school work because I had no intention of going to university or applying for a job that required formal qualifications. I wanted to, and subsequently joined the police where an entrance exam was required, which I duly took and was eventually accepted in the Greater Manchester Police and also the Metropolitan Police eventually joining G.M.P.

Diary of a Lovesick Teenager

Because this is a diary, it was written at the time and at no point are there any exaggerations, lies or anything that may be misleading, it is written with an honest, if naive hand due to the tender age of it’s author. It can be described as funny, a little sad in parts and reflects my thoughts at the time, but most of all it is an honest document that I hope above all will entertain and amuse.
