Barnes A 12 OR Col B 12. Cannot remember. However in my rugby draw I do have a pair of rugby socks complete with name-tag etc. Actually played here at the highest level until I became 40. ( rugby is not that well known here )
BaA 20, like my service number I don't think its something I'll forget easily.

1:12 and Col A 20. Ditto the towels and flannels (with hanging loops holding on for grim death. Cheers, Mum!). And I can remember my matriculation number from university. It's the only way I can work out which year I graduated (add 4 to the first two numbers which represent the year you began). How tortuous is that!
Catherine Standing (Cooper) Canteen Cath 1.12 (1983-85) & Col A 20 (1985-90) Any idiot can deal with a crisis. It takes a genius to cope with everyday life.

I was Col.A 44 too how's that for a pointless bit of information ...
I was Thornton B 45. Just one number up, and a different house, but astoundingly close. Who would have thought it? A revelation.
I was also Thornton A 49. Apparently matron chose new numbers, where possible, that could be easily modified from the originals...hence why 45 became 49 with the mere dash of a permanent marker.
