I actually found my Post-merger plate, and not being one to display such memorabilia, I happily use it for its intended purpose as a plate. I use it for my toast in the morning and have been doing so for 5 years

The good old JDS peeve,they were the stuff of legend.Did his head still go completely bright red? Remember once we were in Geography and most of us hadn't finished the prep he'd set. He stormed out (complete with red head) having called us "a bunch of f****** ****s" so we finished off the...

My nephew's inititals are TNT!!!!

I have found it a really useful tool for getting back in touch with a lot of "lost" friends and old school buddies. I also found that by posting old CH photos on the group I set up (see link on my signature) it increased the interest in the recent 20-year reunion. As such I would like to t...

Some more staff nicknames for you: Richard Youdale was known as "Chucker" because, I believe of the way he "chucked" his words at you when he spoke. Paul Maddren was often referred to as "Spider" because of his long arms and legs when riding his bicycle which made him l...

Honest, it was all innocent fun. :) Haha count yourself lucky! I got suspended (rusticated - that's a real Housey word!!) in early 1990 for having a girl in my Dormitory. I'm not sure the Head would have been quite so lenient if he'd known I had broken into Barnes A and woken said girl up before go...

I remember there was a crackdown in my last term at CH on everything. I think something like 51 people were rusticated (I love that word!!) in a week for just about every offence going, including deliberatley breaking a window. And the previous term my German class (8 people!!) was reduced by 25% be...

Aah good old Lotus. Friends of mine have a Elise Supersports. Very fast, utterly impractical. And virtually impossible to get out of when you've got two frozen shoulders... And don't forget, if you have a classic Lotus, you will probably know what Lotus stands for: L ots O f T rouble, U sually S eri...

I asked if anyone was taking "Official" photos at the the Leavers' Ball and was told no, so I asked if I could do it provided the school paid me for the materials I used and for my services. Mr Husband said he could get me £25 to cover this but would need a receipt for any stuff I bought....

When CH was built at Horsham, there must have been detailed architect's drawings, which would have shown all the tube system. Does anyone know where they are now? Indeed, who were the architects? and are their offices still in existent. If so they may have a copy. Itshould be safe to consult the pl...

Glad you like the pics Toby. All is well here - am getting married in Septmeber. My bro is still a mad rocket scientist (no, really!!) now married with 2 kiddies and living in Farnborough. He is also sporting a rather scary beard...

Mr Robinson, whose first name I can't remember, but he had the amazing Cathy as his wife. he taught in the manny and she taught textiles and I think that nearly every single boy had the hots for her. I seem to remember that his MG Midget had an unfortunate accident with one of the stones near the f...

Is that Toby Hinton?? Link's in my signature mate
