Most interesting Brian.
I will, thanks

Very sad. Tom and Jackie were ahead of their time - a very friendly and approachable couple and whilst Tom was the Housemaster, Jackie played a full part in the life of PeA. Sunday evening playing cards in their kitchen made a nice change to the normal housey routines. I think PeA was probably the f...

An interesting ‘aside’ from the underlying topic: Quite coincidentally, the CH Water Tower and its height were fresh in my mind yesterday when I answered the original post. My wife’s family in UK has ancestral links to a small town in central Germany and just the day before yesterday we unearthed a...

Hardly links. More like random events. How many schools have had 2 previous CH members of staff teach there? The list would be endless. So the random events are: 1. McDonald is an Old Blue: 72-78 2. McDonald was a CH Housemaster:91 - 94 3. Cairncross was Deputy Head of CH from 1986 -2000 4..McDonal...

Prison should wipe that smug grin off his face

Early morning steeplechase followed by a cold shower was another one.

These days, the don’t run it outside the ring fence so I assume they must just run around big side or something... Any idea why? Probably don't want to mess up the carpet in that nice travel lodge accomodation they seem to have now. If you were in Leig Hunt then you had the length of the Back Av to...
