... Brown-hatter and Chapeau Brun Very seventies C.H.! Yes, I think I remember you. Something dredged from the depths of my memory tells me that you left for a year and then returned. Is that right? I'm sure we used to play rugby for the school as 3rd. formers (U.13s, I suppose.......). I was fairl...

Honest, it was all innocent fun. :) Haha count yourself lucky! I got suspended (rusticated - that's a real Housey word!!) in early 1990 for having a girl in my Dormitory. I'm not sure the Head would have been quite so lenient if he'd known I had broken into Barnes A and woken said girl up before go...

Our Headmistress DR left, after thirty fierce unempathetic years of Righteousness, in 1972. So, Brown, your visits must have been undetected by the rather nice-sounding Miss Tucker. A man in drag!

If you're referring to the relative absence of males at Hertford, the only other ones there at that time as I recall were the gatekeeper/Schoolkeeper and a gardener. For a few glor...

No, Andy didn't have a sister, but it could conceivably have been an aunt. Andy's mate Time Cuddeford's sister Bec...

Hello from a squit. About me (the very short version): Maine B 71-73 Thornton B 74-77 Hertford (regular visitor) 1978 - or was it 79? Many happy memories of life at CH: Mad teachers, glorious summers, endless sports, the theatre, being bad, being stupid, crazy pranks, beatings, adventures, people wh...
