My best friend does and I recommend it to someone who kept asking me for sex(from school) but noone else from school knows much about the person I am now.

I might go look now

Speak to 2 of them on a regular basis and was usher at one of their weddings.

I'll still talk to a couple other ones on Facebook and if I see them in a pub or something but they were more like acquaintances.

My main circle of friends is made up of 7 woman, 2 I met when I started dance classes at the age of 3, 2 I met in primary school and the other 3 in high school - we were all by luck at the same high school and somehow just gelled together.

There’s 30 years plus of friendship in that circle and I wouldn’t be without any one of them - I consider myself extremely lucky to have these woman in my life xx

One didn’t make it to 21, it never felt right when we met up after that, so lost touch with couple of others- then one of them died in a motorbike accident about 10 years ago.

I literally have a handful of old school friends I still see on a regular basis.

I went to an all girls school and didn’t have a big group of friends so it wasn’t hard to still keep in contact with the ones I wanted too.

One has moved away up north but we make the effort to see each other twice a year.. either I go up to North Yorkshire or she comes down south to me in Kent.

We lost one of our group of girls in January to cancer so we all got together again to say goodbye to her… was very bitter sweet

One of my best friends I've known since before primary school. Kept in touch before mobiles and internet even though for the vast majority of the last few decades we've lived at opposite ends of the country.

Best thing ever is about 5 we moved within 10 miles of each other.

I gave up on my school friends 30 years ago.

I was fed up with one way friendships where I was always the one checking in, helping them when they were in financial difficulty, supporting them through the loss of family members as well as being their nominated driver every time we went out together.

None of that was ever reciprocated and they were never there for me so I cut all ties.

One of them lives within ½ mile and we never speak.

I can only remember the names of a few people I went to school with. I'm "friends" with 3 or 4 on the book of the face. I joined an FB group for one of my schools and I look at the names of those who where there when I was and still don't remember them. I remember very few teachers' names, too.

I’m still in touch with one mate who I first met in junior school, but became friends with in senior school.

Also a couple more from senior school, but one lives a far distance away now. Another doesn’t seem interested in staying in touch for reasons unknown.

Most of my mates are from places I’ve worked and from common interest social circles.

I've recently reconnected with a woman due to some overwhelming news that she told me about another primary school mutual friend.

The mutual friend very sadly died of cancer several years ago and unknown to me she had wanted to leave me some money in her will. I was absolutely stunned, overwhelmed, speechless and absolutely broke down in floods of tears, as I hadn't seen this mutual friend for many years. Her will was never carried out but I don't care about the money, I just needed to meet the woman to talk about our mutual friend.

Some things in life truly blow your mind, this was one of them.
