Has anyone else noticed a high incidence of serious brain illness among 1980s CH pupils? I count 5 so far that I know of, including Sam, who were all within 3 years of each other. Maybe it's average, I don't know, but it seems statistically odd that the only group of people I'm aware of having suff...

Mid A 15, as always, is spot on......it's bullying and unacceptable......keep badgering the housemaster to sort it out.

How do they end up on e-bay? You can't stuff one up your jumper and saunter out of school grounds after the retreat at the end of term. I bought one of these at an Old Blues Day sale in the late 1980s or early 1990s for £10 or £15. I seem to recall that there was a room stuffed with them behind t...

Probably because the boys who are still in Thornton will be spread through the other houses in September , taking up the space that new deps would normally fill. How can you go and Make Thornton a girls house , my god Southern is nothing sacred anymore at that school. Why has no one tried to stop t...
