IT'S back to school for today's dose of nostalgia, going from the classroom to the dinner hall.

On this year's World Teachers' Day, we asked the Leader's 'Local Bygones' Facebook group members to name their favourite teachers.

And it would seem plenty left positive, lasting impressions. Did you have any of these teachers at school?

Belinda Jones: Mrs Lewis, history teacher St Joseph's, 1980s.

Debbie Davies: Mr Morris, Ysgol Bryn Gwalia, Mold.

Jackie Faichney: Miss Duckett Grove Park Grammar School for Girls.

Hannah Zimunya: Mr Fisher - music, Mr Mann - chemistry, Mrs Massey - RE, St David's/Rhosnesni.

Emma Williams: For my children, particularly one son it was not just one single teacher, but a fantastic head teacher, Mrs Iona Walker from Mountain Lane CP, School, Buckley, and a number of staff, namely Mrs L Davies, Mrs Marina Walsh, Mrs C Mayers that made a huge difference to his learning. If it wasn't for their faith in him, that continued even after he left primary school, things would definitely be different. We as a family are forever grateful to them! Mine was the late Mr Ian Jones from Buckley CP School. He always had time to listen and if any of us didn't quite grasp something, he'd try a new method until we understood.

Alan Bell: John Goodwin, a teacher at the Maelor School Penley. Brilliant.

Sponge and custard. But was it lumpy custard?

Brenda Green wasn't a fan of butterscotch pudding, leaving Barbara Martkn to add: "Oh my word, butterscotch pudding was the best and even better if it was preceded by a roast dinner. Loved school dinners."

Trish Reid: "Loved school dinners apart from tapioca pudding." Deemed 'frogspawn' by David Kelly and Morlais Jones, and got a big thumbs down by many others.

Shirley Povah: Worst thing was the custard tart - cold custard and jam on pastry.

Beth Parry: The sponge and custard, and the shortbread with a blob of icing on.

Tracey Blower: I loved school dinners, even the semolina.

Paul Maggs: Lumpy custard. Hate it to this day!

Rebecca Ould: "Chocolate sponge and pudding the best the worst was semolina." In agreement 100% was Kitaa Charles New.

A few never experienced school dinners, with Margaret Dawson, Meryl Edwards and Steven Simon both amongst those that walked home instead.

Were school dinners a delight or a dread?

Anthony Price: Spam fritters, mmmm.

Peter Robert MacNeil: That grey coloured meat swimming in some translucent liquid looked revolting but the pizzas were banging.

Neil Edwards: Loved school dinners great food and being with my best friend Peter Jones, we loved the menu each day. Happy Days.

Pam Rooke: Cheese and onion pie was my favourite.

Paul Mader: Sago or tapioca pudding was the devil's food. What a disgusting concoction. I never did anything naughty at school to deserve that.

Marylyn Brady: Always liked my school dinners. Good food, well cooked, this was 1950/60.
