But surely Euclid Crescent should be Bash Street?

[ISPYSHHHGUY]

the school outside the DCT offices that inspired the strip should be renamed in it's honour.

Somehw, I very much doubt that Dundee High would be very much in favour of that idea....

There was also this piece in Saturday's Times.

Col: from the actual DCT buildings, from about the second floor up or higher, you get a grandstand view of this school and courtyard, and it's easy to see why someone came up with the idea for this strip. It's a really old-fashioned-looking school [almost Victorian looking], and looks the sort of place where much 'whacking' would have occured at one time!

And Bash Street is officially open!

-I wonder if there ever was a Banana Crescent? ;0)

[AndyB]

Peter, there isn't even an Acacia Road in Dundee to be able to live at No.29.

Little Eric's address?

Precisely

I think this should get a mention in The Beano especially as it is to mark The Bash Street Kids 60th. I remember the issue of The Dandy that had the strip about the statues of Desperate Dan and Minnie the Minx in Dundee.
