Re: LinkedIn profiles
A few years ago I did recruitment for my department at work; we often checked LinkedIn, though it never altered a hire/no hire decision, and no one was prejudiced for not being on it. Personally, some good clients have found me through it (I’m a translator) and I have reveived a few invitations to i...

Re: How far did the rot spread?
That is good Richard. I would like to see misprision of child abuse become a specific crime Don’t know about misprision (had to look that up and it seems to imply deliberate concealment, beyond simply failing to investigate), but the omission to take protective action is prosecutable when there is ...

Re: House structure
Boys would start in a junior B house and then move over to the senior A side of the same house on the UF with the exception of about 4 boys who would “stay down” in the junior house for 1 year as monitors. This was called the Block System. However in 1992 the block system was tweaked and at the end...

Re: Date of sentencing of Webb and Burr
British sentencing is the harshest in Europe, and the prison population is by far the highest, which also helps to explain the overcrowding in British prisons. I think in Germany where I live these two would not have been given a custodial sentence, or at least it would have been suspended. But alm...

Re: Newspapers
We had the Times, the Daily Mail and the Sun; though for some unknown reason (in a 11-17 boys' house), the Sun was banned after not very long.

Re: "The Blue 2012" - Oh Dear...
I was surprised to see the comments about the broadie buckle being at the rear, as I've never heard of it being otherwise! I started in 1998 and it was like it then. As has already been said several times, the only people at the school who wear any kind of buckle at the front are 2nd formers. Then t...

Re: Grecians' Path
The grass in Quad is a no-no to everyone - except the band at Beating Retreat of course! Staff can and do use the grass in Quad all the time to cut the distance between e.g. the Common Room and the Maths Block (at least when I was there up to 2005 anyway). I did know one teacher (who is still there...

Re: New book - murder mystery set at CH!
I know I'm bringing up a very old thread, but I've just read this book so wanted to say how much I liked it! I am a terrible reader, I get though maybe 3 or 4 books a year, so the fact that I read this in 4 days says something about how much I enjoyed it. I enjoy murder mystery TV/books in general b...

Re: Aspects of Housey 1984-90
Fab videos! I started in the last year of those dorms before they were changed to partitions at the beginning of my 3rd form. Took me back very strongly to my first day, and the bit with the Wardrobe as well, a part of the school of whose existence I'd completely forgotten. At the time my predominan...

Re: New book - murder mystery set at CH!
how many of us have said at some time or another "there's a book in me somewhere ..." and never done anything about it! I couldn't agree more! Sadly most of us do not have the patience or self-belief to see it through. I have belatedly just stumbled across this particular thread. Funnily ...

Re: Security to visit CH these days
What about members of the public who use the Sports Centre? Do they now have to register at security every time they go? Or is that exempt and they just have to give their word that they won't go anywhere else on site? When I drove past on Monday I noticed barriers had been put on a number of entran...

Cynthia Maddren
This is old news now, but I have searched and found there is surprisingly no post on here relating to this. I learnt yesterday that Cynthia Maddren, wife of Dr. Paul Maddren, sadly passed away almost a year ago, after a long illness. She was a piano teacher at the school and always gave up a lot of ...
