Oh dear, I said almost and I was joking. Although I do wonder if the motion sensors could be regarded as a civil liberties infringement. I know that the school is in loco parentise (or however the hell it is spelled) and there is a reaction! Calm down folks No offence meant

I like that emoticon hehehehe

Back to the sicker before I get in trouble again, is it stll used as a how would you describe it, a dorm for some of the girls?

Or is it now just a museum?

Was it costs that stopped the school having a working sicker with nurses and a school doctor?

its no longer used as a boarding house , but is still used for the poorly sick - but it would appear that they don`t like people to be ill overnight!! (please don`t ask me to expand on this!!)

Part of upstairs is the museum

Goodness knows what`s happening to the rest of it!

Do they still give out tubey grips and paracetamol with 4 glasses of orange squash?

So what happens of you are ill - not too ill to be in hospital, but poorly enough to be out of house and off lessons?

There are still beds at the sicker but I think most of the time they stay in house...

Are the bockers for ever dragging beds in and out of the sicker then?

I remember doing a roaring trade when I was in the sicker for chicken pox. For 50p a go, I would breathe all over some willing pupil or let him touch a pox spot so that they could get time off school. Those of us in the ward would take turns at KV and earning some extra pennies.

That sounds like a great money making scheme!!
