CH Non-Achievers at Cambridge,
I suffered superannuation at CH after Deps. Not suitable for further education. However after a stint at another school where I was allowed to take A Levels including English which was banned at Housey as too easy, I managed a place at Cambridge. To my surprise there were at least 2 other Old Blues ...

Re: CH fundraising - a bit of a rant

Re: The band leading the People’s Procession at the Cenotaph tomorrow
David- Thank you for encapsulating my thoughts on Remembrance Day. I too suffered bombs and machine guns whilst Father was away and regret the Circus that the Day has become. I notice that the Trot was improperly dressed for the occasion!

Re: Sometimes I forget
Ref baths.Before 1955 Th.B had showers and a tiled trough bath in the changing room. We used to unscrew the shower heads and let hot water rain down after rugby. We could also fill the bath to overflowing to get a bath about 1 ft deep! THE tiled trough was also useful for keeping carp,caught in the ...

Re: Attitudes to sports
I became a swimmer to avoid spending afternoons fielding at long-stop on Big Side! Fortunately Thornton B had a strong tradition in swimming beginning with Reynolds in the 1940s. I made the xvi for the rest of my time and never had to suffer the boring cricket.Also meant I could getaway earlier to g...
