They included (amongst others) sweeping, cleaning the bogs, picking up litter, making toast, setting tables, serving food etc and etc. They were normally allocated on a per term basis by one of the monitors, who the oversaw that they were ...

Horse-hair
At least they weren't shirts. Those mattresses and boards were in fact reasonably comfortable and we are now discovering the advantages of firm support while sleeping - thanks to the wonders of modern science. Agree that at least one is able ever after to sleep almost anywhere. Rebel - I did mean th...

Rebel, et al, I think very few male or female would list CH as the most happy days of their lives. The problem is that those years are desperately unhappy for everyone - it's known as growing up. Just more difficult to swallow without a family support group around. There is also no question that the...

One of the few places I know where you can surf in the morning and ski all afternoon...graham is quite correct, this is a country of the most magnificent scenery. I look out onto a small mountain range (the Santa Monicas) that only top out at 4000 ft just over 1200 m I think. The Getty museum perhap...

It's good to see that the OB product can still debate God, booz and sexuality in essentially the same breath. I just read that less than 40% of beer sold in the UK is done through pubs. I do hope they are not dying, that would be a real tragedy. It is pubs that made England what it is. The previous ...
