Not sure if this is amazing or just plain sad

(probably the latter) but I just realised I can name my entire class, in register order, from Secondary school and I left there 12 years ago. I guess hearing the register being called 7 times a day, 5 days a week for 5 years sinks in!

Also fun to remember the baby names that were popular 28 years ago Right I'm off back to loserville....

[fackinell]

I can remember all the family landline numbers they've ever had, even one that we moved from age 5!! Budge up, I've got a ticket too!!

[racmun]

I'm also weird I remember all my family's landline phone numbers from when I was growing up
I can also re all all my parent's number plates on their different cars and the car model etc. they had about 20 different cars.

Don't know why they just stuck...

[Leafleaflea]

I remember phone numbers from when we first had a phone.

Also the reg numbers of cars we had when I was little.

[Choccyhobnob]

Haha now you mention it my dad had an old Morris Miner car that sat in the garden for years and I still recall the numberplate, yet I can barely remember the one for the car I currently have!

You're not alone- I can also say my secondary register in order without even thinking about it :) I can even have a good go at the primary school register but I really do have to think about that.

[StellaNova]

We were all given numbers for speed, so we just went round the class saying our numbers. I was Thirteen. Like on House!

[sjuperyoni]

I know all of our postcodes including family for the past 20 years, i know close familys national insurance number and can remember every number from my last 3 bank cards plus dps they just won't go away!

[Lamazeroo]

Go on, list all the names then!

Secondary school 12 years ago. Hmm, must be a fair crop of Charlottes, Emilys, an Alice or two? Now, my secondary school 30 years ago- that was all Lisa, Debbie, Joannas and Susans!

[LondonMother]

Mark, Jon, Frank, James, Elizabeth, Katie, Chris, Ben, Michael, Clara, Jaz, Hannah, Keely, Ashley, Jessica, Charlotte, Rachel, Nicholas, Patricia, John, Natalie, Tom, Laura, Alex

[MisselthwaiteManor]

That's impressive, I'd struggle to name my whole class and I only left school 6 years ago!

[mynameisnotmichaelcaine]

I can list my form in register order, but those names have displaced my own register from when I was at school.

The unfortunate side effect is that if anyone says "Holly" in the supermarket or wherever, I automatically start to list the other 28 names... :)

[LittleMissLucy]

God, that name Nicola. Brings back a lot of the 1970s for me.

[OrangeFireandGoldashes]

Adele, Ashlee, Donna, Gillian x 2, Helen x 2, Jill, Karen, Louise x 2, Pamela, Paula, Suzanne, Tracey x 2

Alan, Colin, David x 3, Gary, Gavin, Glen, Ian, Mark x 2, Paul, Simon, Tony

Bet you can't guess in which decade I started school!

[TheHerringScreams]

I can't name mine. We did our register by calling out our numbers (I was first in the register, alphabetically, so I said One, second person alphabetically said Two etc;) so there's nothing to remember I can remember most of my friends, but can't remember register order let alone people who were out of my friendship group...

[TheHerringScreams]

I remember Ingela x3, Angela x2, Sofia x2, Johan x2, Liselotte, Kristina x2, Emma x2, Anna, Ajsel, Fredric, Malin, Indra, Gabriella, Dan x2, Hollie, Ola x2, Jay.

Sweden (who'd a guessed it). Thankfully we had the same classes through the whole of school! There's still 5 more people to remember, and I can't quite think of their names!
