That’s very sad if that’s the case.

Re: Robert Sillett MBE of Billingshurt
Teachers at the school often retired at 60 until fairly recently I think. (Wasn’t this a standard teacher retirement age?)

Re: What is CH for these days?
I would expect that the trip to Australia was a sports trip (rugby?) - the school have done a number of international sports trips over the years and my memory is that the children going fundraised for nearly all of it...

Re: Theo Usherwood in hospital with pneumonia
I’ve been texting him (he was on my year) and I’m pleased to say he’s out of hospital.

Re: WATER TOWER
Is it not something like 6 feet lower than Sharpenhurst to balance the water from the reservoir there?

Re: Cross-country runs
In the 1990s, there were two versions of the steeplechase (junior and senior) They both started at the 1st XI cricket pavilion, over Peele Bridge, down Peele Straight and then up the footpath across the field to the church at Itchingfield. Then it was left. The junior course then turned left at itch...

Re: Milk
I seem to remember nobody ever used a knife but just wiped the bread on the still-wrapped butter. :lol: knives were hard to come by, but I remember doing this too. Peeling the top of the butter pack, then rubbing it on the toast until the coverage was acceptable. I did this in the first share house...

Can't remember there ever being a milk shortage :lol: I think they were called ‘milkpaks’ - they were an endless source of milk! O...

Re: Relationships - Grecian / UF
I was starting my UF when the merger happened. It was quite usual for UF/GE girls to have a relationship with Grecians - in general terms girls are a bit more mature than boys of a similar teenage and on a specific basis initially there were 3 times as many hormonal teenage boys looking for relatio...

Re: Old Blue Clearout
Trying to remember whose mini (Gunning's ?) was placed sideways in the cloister archway whilst we there. I also still have a photo of the last morning of term on my deps (88?) when the year above had made a house of cards from toilet doors in the quad along with setting up a couple of classrooms (d...
