Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

using the huge library
adding the whole of horsham to Yellowikis
not having enough time to write lists
going to chapel will be strange. i look forward to it as a new experience. i think...
getting As in my AS-levels
being in coleridge B cause coleridge was cool and he wrote The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

I was just wondering if there are any more written examples of how CH is seen by outsiders/future pupils.
I am sure we all have dozens of stories about how we have interacted with peoples perceptions of public schools but I am genuinely interested in discovering what people think of us.

I do try sometimes Sis but don't always succeed.

So which books have you got at home that I could perhaps get from the library?
