Welcome to the unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum - for discussing everything CH/Old Blue related. All pupils, parents, families, staff, Old Blues and anyone else related to CH are welcome to browse the boards, register and contribute.
Below the pictures of the three available CH ties I've received over the years.
Feel free to add your comments......the middle one gets worn occassionally, and the one on the left is only worn on "bad tie" days along with the matching socks......
The third one....hmmm......never worn I think!

i have a memory for useless information and i have had many a lecture from Mr Potter about ties, all from the history lessons on my 2nd and 3rd form, well u know i cant remember about history but i can remember his tie lectures and his video of him getting his MBE
Well I never knew the differences....perhaps a "Registered CH Forum Member" tie is in order! - maybe a blend of the two, in chav stripes?

perplexed, what have townies and rude-boys got to do with CH? and ties? chavs don't even wear ties. meh. i think the caffeine must have fried my brain today.

WHAT? The land of the FREE?!
Whoever told you that is your ENEMY...
Well, I guess the "House and Violence" bit may apply, depending on how rough the school is these days??!??
Re. Chav:- I was just meaning that any CH tie could potentially be naff and 'orrible, like chav gear....

gotchya. the current old blue tie isn't that far from what you described (i got given one). how come we old blues get the crap one? and what's with the red stripe?
so many questions. fashion never really was my strong point.

I think you'd also need emoticons on a tie for "Registered CH Forum Members" they would complement the chav stripes nicely!
The red represents the city of London so I am told - still think its an ugly tie, though Im not losing much sleep over it. I think they could be useful in other ways, perhaps as a belt, or for any other unfortunate moment when a piece of rope is not at hand.
