May I pose a question ? Why are some of the more 'junior' lads in what I would term, summer-flannel dress ? It may be a hangover from the austerity of the year wars, when new uniforms were not available under rationing. Yes, you are correct... still a shortage of school uniforms after the war. Thos...

I think it is quite a long term project - I believe that the water tanks inside the tower have become rusty and were threatening to come away from the walls which could bring the whole thing down... Thanks for the information Matt, I guess I will just have to go ahead as the ticket is only valid fo...

I see that there is scaffolding at the top half of the Water Tower and am wondering if any member here knows when it is scheduled to be removed. The reason I ask is because I have a ticket for a 'Hot Air Balloon' flight. If we can get the right wind direction to track over the school it would be bet...

JK
