Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

I agree with this. I was always worried that non-uniform times would be increased and my less than trendy clothes would have to be displayed to all to jeer at.

I liked half-housey, comfy, you could get away with having your bands undone (white against white), no heavy coat. Didn't get it very often, only when summer dress was declared part way through the summer term.

School pyjamas in my day - striped traditional draw-string waist things.
I think they got phased our during my time there, as I only recall having some in my first few years.

I'd love to have had school pyjamas - anyone manage to liberate some that could be sold on the black market (or put in the museum archive)?

That often. Funny how we seem to cotton-wrap people today isn't it?

I'm not that keen to recall them, either.

Let it be known that Grecians (in the West, at least) do actually get as far as taking clothes to the laundry rooms --- not sure if they get as far as the washing machines though!!!
(and at least one person in GRW has enough to last a term without washing, I should think!! )

:D
The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
