Re: Pocket money, Nausea and more
I remember in the 1970s being able to buy a hot dog and a Mars Bar in the tuck shop for about 10p...
And the trunks were stored in the Tube.

Re: Leave Days in Horsham
In the 1970s I tended to end up in Brighton, Worthing, or on the South Downs with my parents. My father did have a small car, not really up to getting home to Romford and back in a day, pre M25 and M23. We usually started with a picnic just behind the 1st XV pitch on Big Side.

Re: Arthur Lockhart
And to think you found all that stuff out in spite of being in Azerbaijan. The wonders of the internet, eh? So, have you traced your own ancestors back to the days when they actually made nails for a living? Strangely enough, my background isn't so very far from the Lockhart family. In the 1840s on...

Re: Arthur Lockhart
Found a bit more on Ancestry.com... In 1939 there's a document called England & Wales Register - it looks a lot like a census. This lists: Lockhart Wm P, correct DoB - Stockbroker's Clerk Lockhart Margaretta M, born 4 Feb 1903 - Unpaid domestic duties Lockhart Thelma M, born 11 July 1931 - at sc...

Re: Arthur Lockhart
On Ancestry.com there are two family trees showing William Patrick as born in 1900 in Botolphs (Parish of St Botolphs in the east end of London, not too far from Christ's Hospital at that time) and with parents Arthur William Lockhart (1851-1921) and Annie Webber (b.1865). He was baptised on 8 April...

Re: Milk
If I recall correctly, during the 70s it was delivered in milk churns daily to the boarding houses from the home farm dairy. Yes, I think you remember correctly. Sometimes the milk was distinctly off even by breakfast time, though the staff (Mrs Keeley I think) tried to persuade us that it was just...

Re: Neil Simms
In the 1974 house photo were Peter Brotherton, Neil Simms and Mike Barford. In the 1975 photo were just Peter Brotherton and John Trappes-Lomax.Ajarn Philip wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 11:10 am for the life of me I can't remember who the house tutors were, never mind speaking to them!

Re: John Mason, teacher, circa 1976
Not as I recall...bt I agree with the guitar.
But this link https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=5935 says the Visitor 2015/Fruup JM was Irish, which I also don't recall.
So many hazy memories, we could do with a house photo or a browse through The Blue of that era.

Re: John Mason, teacher, circa 1976
John Mason definitely wasn't a chaplain, throughout most of 71-77 (my time) the chaplains were John Robson, Ian Atkinson and Godfrey Hall. I remember Cain!, it was one of the first big school productions to make use of the then new theatre. I looked up Visitor 2035 and Craig Pruess, to find: "V...
