1973 The Fullam Gilliat Girls School were Lois taught in London18 viewsGilliat Girls School eventually combined with the local Fulham Girls Grammer to create Fulham Gilliat Girls School, and Lois was happy to keep teaching there. One interesting story from that period concerns an ongoing bomb threat. At the same time each Wednesday, a bomb threat would be called into the local police and the school would be evacuated (this was the days of the IRA bombing campaign). No bomb was ever found and the word was that it was a disgrunted student who hated one particular class so much that this was the innovative way in which to deal with it.
