As I alluded to, I would suggest the Headmaster spends more time in the houses. Only then can he begin to know what is going on. Take prep, do dorm duty etc I would have the SMT or another senior group of teachers, randomly visit houses, and see for themselves what the house is like. I would facili...

For heaven's sake. Bullying isn't like smallpox. It doesn't decline as medical science and progressivity increases. Bullying is a function of leadership; poor leadership lets bullying in. Bullying isn't being outmoded as practices change, it just changes itself. CH in the 80s (that I experienced) w...

And it is very expensive

Like rockfreak, I too am amazed by the fact that bullying, which was declining in his time, and declining still faster in mine (we overlapped but he was four years my senior) seems to have got worse in the 1970s and 1980s. For heaven's sake. Bullying isn't like smallpox. It doesn't decline as medic...

And I'm fairly sure none of them lay in bed at night, scared to fall asleep in case they got roughed up by some more senior kid who took a disliking to them. That was genuinely terrifying and happened in both my junior and senior houses. I remember one occasion when for no apparent reason the whole...

Irrelevant ? Possibly. Mud slinging ? Hardly. All fact. The woman in question was a senior police officer, and what we used to call a bl00dy rotten apple and a total disgrace to her profession. I could go a lot further but feel it would be counter productive. She's also a talented pianist and arran...

I find it hard to believe that someone, with connections in the Masons (which has a reputation of being stuffed with Police) would not know that an underage victim of a sex crime would never (to my limited knowledge) be named in the press. Perhaps if the unholy trinity of Sillett, Poulton and Cairn...

Personally I would ban these private schools altogether. That would force all the MPs who send curently send their kids to private school to fund state schools properly. Imagine if these parents who spend 30K a year sending there kids to CH, sent their kids to a public school and donated that money...

Do you have any recollection of why he left?

Will you be willing to release some of this information when you are no longer under legal restrictions? I am personally very interested in reading all of Poulton, Cairncross and Sillett's answers to the court,

Do we know that Sillett was called to give evidence?

If so, which trial?

This for me, and I guess other victims, is a HUGE RELIEF. Thank you. I think that I am able to state publicly that Husband's family tried to intimidate 'two' of his victims and Dobbie - and I have now confirmed this with the police - has a rather large pedophile network of some dubious repute. Plea...

I found Ron a dull geography teacher, but a decent enough fellow. I had Lorimer for geography on my squits - he retired the following year I believe - and my abiding memory is of the racist comments constantly made towards my two black classmates. Jeepers. I suppose they are both meant to be 'forev...

Have you still got the Triumph Dolomite Sprint? This is actually my major claim to CH fame. I think I am still the only person to write off a car within the ring fence! And I also did £1K damage to another car in the process. I think it was a fast trip to Horsham to get in food for some MaB or PeA ...
