I can't help for the 40's and 50's, but in the 60's I'm pretty sure that it was pants and socks twice a week and shirts only once (I never wore a vest). Sheets were top to bottom once a week, I think. So one clean sheet and pillow case each time. I can't remember about the bands, though.

We used 'drut' in Peele B in the 60's. Whether it came up from Maine A when some of them transferred to Senior houses, I don't know.

A long time after the original post I know, but I think the Button Grecian could well have been John Churchill who was (I think) Senior Grecian at the time.

I think it tracks - and transmits to the trainers - their movements around the field and also monitors their heart function etc. etc.

In the 60's we also used it for any boys with a West Country accent: Bocker Smith, Bocker Jones etc.

Watched the match in France. Even the French commentators went overboard about his performance! Awesome!!

Yes! Apparently from the Anglo-Norman French 'raisins de Corauntz' 'grapes of Corinth' - where they first came from.

To be fair; I was there in the 60's, but not in Lamb A. But we were always led to believe that he was called 'Killer' because of his war record.

Beer lorries? Definitely after my time!

Con Coughlin, the Defence Editor, is an OB!

I was there from 1964 to 1970. I don't think I ever heard of Muntham House at that time.

From my limited knowledge, I would imagine that the answer to question one is yes, and to question two, no. He might possibly earn in a year what a few of the highest-paid footballers get in a week!

Dining-Hall, first day of first term. Dr. Scott said (and presumably wrote down) : "Fat Boy". Years of training to be that perceptive, of course!

That must have been a couple of terms after I left. I remember the Reggie Watters production of Hamlet, with Martin Drury as the Prince. Roger played Rosencrantz or Guildenstern, I think. I had two roles (due to illness. Both small).

The photos were still hanging there in Newsome's day!
