Re: St Matthew’s Day

I am as certain as I can be that our chartered train went over the Thames to Cannon Street, thereby disgorging a disorder of pupils directly into the City without posing any undue risk to the Thames bridges, presumably much to the relief of the trustees of the charity that provides the bridges.

Good picture of Christ's Hospital Band practising in the quad, Horsham, West Sussex. Not quite sure how it shaped the urban landscape :rolleyes:

Re: Cain!

Yes, I remember it too. I think I still have the LP at home somewhere, and I recall that I even took some of the photos on the album cover. Craig Pruess and Visitor 2035 were the musicians. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=5935. One track is already on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Re: Flecker’s Banning of some Comics

I remember collecting beer mats in the mid-70s, would have been before I even started drinking beer. If you got lucky, the brewery sent a bar cloth as well, and once even a wine glass. I may even still have that lurking in a cupboard 50 years later.

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...

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.

Contact for that would be CHMuseum@christs-hospital.org.uk and they hold absolutely all the historic records. Good luck.
