Is the Belt Tightening ?

Stop it! You're being sensible.......

However - what if person A orders a delivery in the name of person B (who knows nothing of the transaction) and Domino's person arrives to find no-one waiting? Not that that's likely to happen, of course...

Why not designate one or two people (even members of staff who are on duty) to phone the orders and ensure that the delivery is collected (from one delivery point) and paid for?

That way, nothing can go wrong, there would be no security issues and no-one would waste away through malnourishment.

By the way, did you know that even the kebab shops in Horsham now deliver?

How about Mrs. C. assuming the role of 'pizza monitor'?

Hmmm.... yes thank you Richard!!! Don`t give them ideas!!!!

And yes, they`ve been ordering kebabs for ages - can`t do that now either, I think. No doubt one of my dear Grecians from West will correct me if I`m wrong though!!

You seem to be forgetting that many seniors, particularly deps and grecians often do wander the grounds after dark - visiting other houses and of course the infamous bushes for some 'browns'. Security isn't that far - I have to go to Sporty every Wednesday morning for grecians' PE, so having a good reason to go isn't a bad thing in my book. Perhaps Richard has the right idea, order through the HSM, only one order per house per night to worry about and have either a house tutor or designated pupil to collect all for the house.

isn`t that how ordering school pizzas supposed to work?

Good point. Still, I'd rather a real pizza any day. And the less said about what school catering call kebabs the better!

Are they not much good then?

And what's this about Grecian's PE?

Just what I was thinking! Don't think I did much in the way of excercise in my Grecians

Neither did I!

House competitions? Yes - for non-squad people (i think) - i.e. the less sporty, generally!! Well that makes sense doesn`t it??!!

I think by the time you are in the 6th form - deps and Grecians, you should be the one making the decision about whether you should do sport or not - or it's just something else to take up the time of a valuable free lesson...

In my time it was only for juniors. Did that change later?

Definitely was the first 3 years - I think maybe that was it to be honest. We used to have rounder trials at the start of the summer term and Gravvy would pick the team for the term and post it on the board in the cloisters. Never played it again after we moved to Horsham.

Did anyone other than teachers call it that?
