Of course - 2:24 - I even use it for lottery numbers ( how sad is that ?)
When you have it marked on everything from nighties to knickers for 7 seven years ( well 6 in my case, because 1 year in juniors ) - can you EVER forget ?

Col.A 44. A few years ago a group of us went back for Old Blues Day and met our old matron. Even though new pupils now had what were our numbers, she could still remember all our numbers. Scary!
I still have some stuff with Col.A 44 scrawled on them ... and that's after 11 years out of the place! I hasten to add, it's stuff shoved in the bottom of drawers and not used!

Barnes B 25, which I inherited from a Joe Curtis, whose brother Robin was also in Barnes B.
My brother was Barnes B 28 which he inherited from Mike Hilliard.
Can't remember anyone else's though, but I doubt that I knew them when I was at CH.
Given that we all had names, and only infrequently a relative in the same house, and that all my clothes had Cash's name tapes sewn on them, why did we have numbers?
Just to mark Housey clothes?
