Hya John,
Welcome to the site m8, was a great time to grow up but I'm a fair bit older than you , I was born in 1948 and went to wee Bonnies then big Bonnies, in fact my Ma and Da's back window looked into big Bonnies playground . I see your surname is Mc Manus, there was an Owen [Oni] McManus in my class in wee and big Bonnies [think he lives in Australia now] wonder if he;s a cousin of yours John ?.
Regards.
Danny
