It is possible that uniform manufactures were busy elsewhere in 1916, so the school had to make do with what it had.

Re: Happy Birthday Rex

Good.

The usuall crop of birthday messages on here were missing, but I think that was due to the new layout (I'm sure that the birthday information was more visible before, you have to scroll right down to find it now).

Re. lightbulbs, I don't think the issue is with the bayonet/screw bit of the fitting, but the overall length of the bulb and its base.

If a company is playing music that is audible to the public without a licence then the PRS should be taking legal action. Artists deserve their royalties. The Kwik-Fit employees should be ensuring that their 'personal' radios are not heard by others. Put yourself in the position of the artist/songw...
