Re: Sir John Whitehead CA 43-50

Slightly off topic, but the whole school went to Westminster Abbey in 1966. I've always remembered that as being to do with Barnes Wallis, but it wasn't! "IN MEMORY OF KING EDWARD VI BURIED IN THIS CHAPEL THIS STONE WAS PLACED HERE BY CHRIST'S HOSPITAL IN THANKSGIVING FOR THEIR FOUNDER 7 OCTOBE...

Re: Your nickname

Never heard that explanation before! I'm pretty sure it came from his second name: Clarence Milton Edwards Seaman.

Re: Confirmation Service

I might well be wrong - memory plays funny tricks as you get older! - but I've always thought that it was Lewes in 1966 (?Chichester ill). I seem to remember feeling miffed that we'd got the stand-in, so to speak. I've managed to dig out the order of service, but it only mentions 'The Bishop'. Obvio...

Re: Endeavour (Morse Prequel) ITV

I don't think he smoked a pipe either. Cigarettes, yes; but no pipe! I think the description (pipe, hat, coat) fits Paddy Cullen better.

Re: "The Blue 2012" - Oh Dear...

Re. The buckle. I wonder in 50 years' time if OB's will be bemoaning the fact that it's worn at the front rather than the back. Just a thought! Also, has anyone else noticed the difference in dress between the reunions over the last couple of years? In general, the 40 year are a scruffy bunch and th...

Re: "The Blue 2012" - Oh Dear...

"Also, if it supposed to be a record of 2012, why are the reunions published apparently those which took place in 2011? " I think (I might be wrong) that it's a record of the Academic Year 2011/2012, so reunions in the Autumn of 2011 would be reported on.

Re: "The Blue 2012" - Oh Dear...

Same in the late 60's. I remember doing up the buckle and immediately pulling it down to the left. As for shoes, I cleaned them religiously at school and haven't touched them since - apart from high-days and holidays obviously (well, not holidays now I come to think of it!).

Nevertheless, I'd still rather see dirty shoes than read "It would never of happened". Sorry. But, after all, this isn't the Daily Mail!

Re: I S I Report 2013

There were several mentions of parents' views in the report. Here's one:
"Parents responding to the confidential pre-inspection questionnaire showed enthusiastic support and appreciation."

In my experience, the parents are chosen by the inspectors, not the school!
