I don't remember if it was legal or not to slipper people. I only remember it happening once or twice in my first year and not after that (we're talking 1989/90). It was never done with a huge amount or malice and wasn't rife at all. Apparently the Children's Act outlawed corporal punishment but wh...

I'd forgotten all about Mr Snook! Didn't he teach CDT? Anyone remember Mr Grimshaw? He used to make me laugh with his funny ways. Think he went abroad somewhere after CH. CDT was great for a doss lesson, until I sanded some of my knuckles ouch. Mr Snook was a legend in Scout circles - for a number ...

I'm sure he left later than that Mat, I can remember him taking us to Horsham or Crawley Atrhletics comps with a couple of us sat in the boot of his people carrier cause he couldn't get the minibus!! He was gentle until you annoyed him and when he shouted in Dining Hall everyone would stop talking ...

It runs under most of the original buildings (someone once released a stink bomb in chapel from under the floor). What I want to know is if it went out to Sharpenhurst as legend sugget...

Well, they look the same to me! LOL

As discussed on Friday Alex, I haven't seen him! LOL

Guy, did you not sit on the same side of chior as me? Actually, where you in chior - I can't remember now - anyway, the side where I sat, the picture shows someone with 4 arms - apparently, he put these sort of 'mistakes' in as quirks to keep the pupils amused during boring sermons!
