Re: Puke Fight!
I've commented on this before, but I would be interested to see if any of my peers would think that I'm looking back through rose-tinted spectacles. I have no recollection of this sort of thing going on in the 60's. Rigid hierarchy, yes. But physical punishment by monitors had been banned the year b...

Re: Puke Fight!
"I saw absolutely nothing at all like this when I was at CH in the 70s. There was undoubtedly bullying but nothing of this sort of vindictive nastiness". I was going to say much the same about the 60s.

Re: Nell Todd painting for sale
That's interesting. I'd heard about the Jacqueline du Pré connection and always wondered how that started. Nell Todd never taught me; she was always the rather mysterious 'old' lady in the studio next to Mr. Lane.

From Christ's Hospital G.A.T. Allan Revised by J.E. Morpurgo (p19) ....."The names of many of those individual benefactors who, in its first two centuries, followed the example of Crown and City, are recorded only in Christ's Hospital's archives and in its more detailed histories but one name, ...

Re: Britt or European
I may well be wrong, but I'm sure I remember reading that the Erasmus after whom the forms were named was a wealthy London benefactor, not the 'Scholar of Rotterdam'.

Re: Covid 19 Hardship Fund
There's nothing 'special' about them. It's just that they are the ones concerned here because it's a Christ's Hospital forum.

Re: What Doesn't Happen At CH These Days?
My recollection was 6:55, which seemed very early then but (like you) now seems obscenely late. [/quote] Interesting! My experience of people of my age (65+) who get up at some unearthly hour (any time before 0830 in my opinion) then, after lunch, have a 'nap'. Anything up to 2 hours. Then, around 9...

Does anyone remember the christian names (or even initials) of the Steggles twins?
