Me too! I did x3 GCSE's in CDT:
Technology (How stuff works - electronics and mechanics)
Design & Realisation (How to design and make stuff)
Graphical Communication (Technical drawing and illustration)
and did Art & Design too.
I lived in that block in school and got on well with the technician and teachers who let me use all the machinery and welding equipment I wanted. Would never ever happen today. Great times!
