Mal and I were talking about River going to Grammar school and reminiscing on our grammar school days. I remember you were given a detention if you were seen out of school without your boater on in the summer or your purple beret in the winter or you were ever seen not giving up your seat on a bus if an older person was standing etc etc. Then I said I remember if for some reason we didn’t have to wear school uniform we were told to come in “mufti”. Mal was in hysterics saying it was from the forces days and in theory meant you could wear dressing gowns and tasseled caps! Things have certainly changed since our days, I am sounding old now!
I only ever had one detention whilst I was there and remember it well. I was in a top floor classroom and someone was threatening to tell a certain boy (you know who you are!) that I fancied him. I asked them not to but if they did I said I would throw their books out of the window, they started to go and so I did! It was really unfortunate that the Geography mistress was walking underneath at the time!
Yes, I was in this photo, way back when and the summer dresses? Purple and white stripe..yuk!
