Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

Some building sites are now breathalysing workers when they arrive on site. When you consider the machinery that is operated and the risks involved this does seem sensible! When I was a houseman at the Royal Free in the early 90s the doctors' mess had a licensed bar which was open at lunchtime (tho...

englishangel, you're struggling. Might I (respectfully) suggest that you just let it go?

Ettiquette, schmettiquette. In an increasingly impersonal age, I like to think that some things can count for something. It was someone's personal information being sought and whereas it is correct that Tim asked the question publically and set out what he was looking for, I did not feel it was app...

Shelfstacker, why don't YOU pm David? PM who? It was DAVID Clements I spoke to on the phone and whose contact details are being sought by TIM.

"Herr" Cullen taught me O level German. You know the expression "No one forgets a good teacher". I was lucky to be able to name the following whose teaching I can still recite to my children more than a quarter century after leaving CH: Patrick Cullen: German. RIP Richard West: E...

I was in the band at Horsham under David Elliott and David Clements from 1977 - 1983, playing on two band albums in that time. A few years ago my entire record collection was taken by removal men in a house move, prompting me to move to CDs as replacement. I cannot, for the life of me, find any band...
