Re: Corporal Punishment by CH Teaching staff

I don't think Peter Austin Jones ever beat anyone. I would be surprised if Michael Cherniavsky did, though as a senior housemaster, he would have been sorely tempted.

Re: School Prospectus

... but Old Blues have the happy knack of knowing the right people. I think like bread upon the waters it may return a thousandfold. As all advertisers know it is difficult to get the target right. The knack is getting enough into the right place and this means casting the net widely. (I think I hav...

Re: Old Beds, Settles Etc

But I have craved one for years .........

.... trouble is I cannot get out of the CH habit of chucking clothes into the settle as I undress. Without a settle to embrace them, they just end on the floor and Judith complains. Please, please help me to find a settle and save my marriage.

No - I was aware! She was a sweetie. We spoke on the phone sometimes and met once at CH. It was good to be reminded of her as I stumbled over this the other day.
