There's a time and PLAICE for everything !

Not Mandy RICE Davies, RR ???)

Gone for a while - have to swan off to a meeting. Now, if you'd said that in a POSH Housey accent, it would have sounded like: "Gone for a WHALE.........." (OK, it's not a bird, but it is MARINE.....) Incidently, parrots ARE aquatic, if you throw the squarking bleeders in the English Chan...

I'm positive one or two posters on this site have a copy of the masterplan, Shoz !

Wait and see what transpires.

A guy in Maine A, a few years above me, used to collect other people's sport's clothes...oh no, wait a minute - he was a THIEF!

Over to Mrs C. to find out details of Mr James, Housemaster Prep A in 1958/59.

A 'squit' is a second fomer (IE a first year - or Year 7 in modern speak...) Confused yet? ;) Welcome back! Not in my day. I did my squits in the Prep aged 9. Can't remember what the forms were called in the Prep but I am at this minute studying a piece of basketwork I did in the Manual School whil...
