Re: Some questions about today's CH
Re. buttons - I had my (academic) buttons in 1978 - never heard of this one....shoz wrote: The cuff buttons are also symbolic of status: if the outer button is unfastened on both cuffs then the boys is an academic; if one is unfastened he is both academic and monitor. If neither is unfastened the boy in question is only a monitor.' Is this still true?
Do you have a school cat? If so, what is its name?
Re. cat - are you being serious??

The buttons thing was still semi-true, though people interpreted it as they wanted to more. A few people on my year (myself included) had two undone on each arm, for no reason whatsoever really except that it apparently looked better or something. Kids, eh?

Shoz, if you were obliged to make an inspired guess here, what would your answer be?shoz wrote:Do you have to make your own beds; who changes them?
Go on, have a go!
You really are trying to construct a rather detailed picture, aren't you?

I think you are getting confused with Hogwarts.

How well informed... the colour yellow is certainly not a rat's favourite.
I think there was a study carried out in Japan once on this very topic - maybe you were involved in the research. Anyway - the bottom line seems to be that the colour yellow causes diarrhoea and then eventually wrecks the rat's liver. Poor little things....

the undoing of the cuff buttons still applies, none is a monitor, one is both academic and monitor and both is just academic.
there is no school cat as far as i am aware, (modern days therefroe no mice (i wish!)!)
from what i was told by the museum on my second form the yellow was not for rats, as the rumours say, but because onion dye was the cheapest available at the time so it was used and has stayed. i do not know which is true, just telling you what i have been told.
anyway i find that a big boot up the rear end, or a pellet gun keeps the rats away better than any cheap dye!!!!!!
