Seriously Non-PC Terminology at CH

Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

From my memory Alan Maxwell (big Max) and Dave Maxwell (little Max) were popular just because they were great blokes. I can never remember anyone even mentioning their colour at CH.

I do however remember some outrageous racism to a Sikh guy (whose name escapes me) in the year below me - it still galls me to this day that I didn't stand up and defend him against the everyday bullying that took place against him merely because he was a different colour and religion. Truly shameful.

wasn't there a Deech at Horsham in the 70s? Russell Deech.?? or was that John Leech........I'm getting confused
Yes Russell Deech it was I think he was in above me in Maine B (in the 4th form when I was in the 2nd form in 76).
