Re: Salad dressing
Dressing on salads-you haven't lived until you try the standard (ie every) Sunday lunch between 1944 and 1952. Corned beef, plain boiled potato and winter salad- chopped cabbage,celery and beetroot- with no dressing and no taste. Still we all survived and I did enjoy the economy lunch when rations ...

Tea bowls
I think we had a name for those bowls,but I can't remember it ( not kif). When I started at Hertford there were still some of the old style bowls being used, with a blue pattern around the rim and the Christ's Hosp. crest . Also we learned to hold them in a certain way using the thumb, index and mid...

Kippers!
Englishangel....how could you forget Kippers for breakfast!! Few girls( of which I was one) liked them ....swimming around as they did in that yellow oily liquid ,encased in crispy armour plated skin.

Spinsters
I must explain that there is a post higher in the thread by "Guest" and that "Guest" is me and I must have omitted to log-on. However it is interesting to see that I can do that if I want and make a post kind of anonymous. When I registered and gave my real name I didn't realise ...

Hertford section
It's not going to happen overnight Englishangel. I only recently looked for and found this forum, and quite frankly nearly didn't bother to post as it was too difficult to find anything remotely relevant to my experience of C.H.It was almost like a forum about another school !! That coupled with the...

Hi Mary, I did spot your photo when I first posted here a few days ago! Thanks for the info of four years ago. I will investigate. Sad to hear that Chemi.T. passed away. She was a character ! I'm sure half the explosions and dubious demonstrations she did for us in the lab. wouldn't be allowed these...
