What a pity. We shall never know what NTF wrote about his beatings. As NTF did what he thought fit, I can assure you I deserved the one beating administered by him. OKAY ? (RA) Hewitt delivered the other. What ever did happen to Hewitt ? aka Mr Halitosis. Dr Hewitt taught Physics in the 90s- probab...

Some very interesting points of view TMF and quite right in my view. As one of the people who tried to locate the CH punishment books years ago and was unable to even establish their original existence, I also wondered at the extensive archives of CH documentation. I think someone at the time refer...

VALUE added tax.

Depends on your view of VALUE.

Your turn ladies.

Wow, that's quite a coincidence that there are two Michael Porteouses (rare name) who are both roughly the same age and both employed in private schools...

Indeed. What a coincidence.

A photo, if possible, of the 2nd., (West Country) Porteous might be interesting.

The plot thickens !

Good old Bisto !!

VAT on fees is ridiculous, so many families will be priced out of private education which would then put extra pressure on state schools with a sudden influx of pupils Charging VAT on education is a slippery slope- what about educational activities outside of school, what about university tuition f...

I certainly don't remember any alternatives for veggies at Horsham 1958 to 1963.

One meal. No Choice. Eat it or starve.

Manson was a real enigma. He never commited or actually took part in killings but had that strange power over people to do it for him.

Not sure where I stand these days on corporal punishment. It never did me any harm at Horsham.

However, sexual assault and rape by school staff on pupils is a completely different matter. But we won't go into the why's and wherefores of capital punishment at this stage.

A question to ponder.

Why is the Housey lad leaving church on his own, as it seems ?

Adoring Mum and aunt immediately behind him ? Big possibility.

Sorry Great Plum, but as you have already suggested about me, I do love a great conspiracy theory.

What did he change? Well the school became a mixed school under his headship! Probably the biggest change in the history of CH. We were all shocked to come back to find that Baker had been dismissed. To paraprhase Oscar Wilde, "‘To lose one head (Newsome) may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose bo...

Or to put it another way, "Please die as soon as possible after stopping work. You are a drain on this country !" Hang on a minute ! 'New Dep Head required by CH due to retirement.' Hmmm !! I am SO very pleased I took early full retirement for health reasons on Union advice after winning an employme...

You know I love you lot, as you represent the 'body and soul' of CH. Guy Perricone (not an old Blue) lasted one year as Treasurer & Chair. He did not understand CH and he can not be blamed for what he wrote to me - he followed the line. In just three weeks I am addressing the council - 2nd November...

I vaguely remember there were one or two Catholic pupils during my time. I believe they wer...
