It is great to see that this website is doing so well, and it has already brought memories flooding back. However, new users being listed as 2nd Fomers? Surely we Jonny-come-latelys should be classified as Squits, or has the world moved on making that too poltically incorrect?

You'll be asking after the school cat next. (An in joke from months ago.)

Hi Greg, althuogh termed as squits by most - you can't technically call them that at the school any more - ridiculous really!

...and hence, we're nodding towards the school's political correctness and trying not to upset anyone!

Some of us were "squits" when we joined the forum. I rather enjoyed being a squit again after all those years.

And those of us from Hertford were not called Squits or Second Formers, so its all rather confrusing.
But I am glad to see that you clearly got home safely Dave, after your long drives over the last couple of days!

As far as I am concerned, squits is altenatively known as '"Delhi Belly" or "Montezuma's Revenge".
I think in '65-'66 the most junior year were Second Formers but they were year 6.
