Re: Just for your info............
Welcome back JR ---- sorry to be late, but I also returned from Hospital yesterday, after being investigated for any further developments in my "Nasty little *** " All seems OK, but I was chastised for having drunk a cup of coffee, a few hours before anaesthetic !! "Water Only " ...

Re: Does CH Take In a Fixed Quota of Ginger Kids Each Year?
I apologise --- I am still unable to "Text", at speed, using only my right thumb.
I suppose I shouldn't criticise those things, of which I have no knowledge --- but there are so many !!!

Re: Day Pupils
Yes, I'm afraid I was a bit cross but -------- I loved the School, and still do -- is this perhaps a "Generation thing" ? I admit to knowing nothing about life at Hertford, other than what has been written on this Forum. We seem to exist, these days, in a Society, which favours the "P...

Re: Day Pupils
Here we go again --- "Avon" didn't have a good time at CH -- and therefore wants to denigrate "The Royal and Ancient Foundation and all that Furore" Nasty little Erks who cannot appreciate their privilege of being at CH good or bad -- should shut up and retire to their holes ! I ...

Re: Trasferring between Houses
Never -- ever -- in the 40s as I remember, but I might be wrong. The Idea of transfer to boost another House's sporting ability, smacks of the Football League, was there a "Transfer Fee" ? If that ever DID happen (Sporting Transfer) I would have thought that it was against all the "Ho...

Re: Does anyone on this forum go to church?
Tracing our ancestry can be a bit difficult, when the Irish records (Parish) are concerned. We are an Irish family, and have been for some 150 years. If you think about it --- only an Irishman could be called "Evans" -- and be Irish. I think we must have drifted over in a coracle, and been...

Re: Does CH Take In a Fixed Quota of Ginger Kids Each Year?
Back in the 40s there was a chap in Ba B called "Ganzas" Jones. He had flaming red hair, on which you would be unwise to comment ! A Yorkshireman, he was as hard as nails, and everybody knew it, Fast bowler, Rugby Terror and Athlete. I can't remember any sort of stigma about the colour of ...

Re: Does anyone on this forum go to church?
It is a fact that Haile Selassie, Emperor of Abysinnia until deposed by Mussolini, was able to trace his lineage back to Solomon and the Queen of Sheba ----- This was investigated and agreed by the Scholars. It makes most, if not all, of the current Royal Families of the world, rather "Johnny--...

Re: Favourite song
I believe that Elgar was not all that pleased, that someone had put words to his Trio in "Pomp and Circumstance" which is now, virtually a second National Anthem "Land of Hope and Glory" !

Re: Does anyone on this forum go to church?
I regret to say, that we no longer have a choir --- The Rector (Pamela) decided to appoint a "Director of Music", over the head of the Organist and Choirmaster, who had held the post for some 24 years, and who taught Music. He resigned (I don't blame him !) and so did the entire Choir, en ...
