There's a word which brings back memories of being a junior!

I'm sure the verb to klep is only really used at CH...

of course, it doesn't really......but realistically, I can't see how he would have ever remotely expected his buttons at the time......

I think he would have appreciated that!

they were subversive times!

and, IMO, not really....

We were as subversive as we could be in Col B. Which wasn't all that subversive, unfortunately. Would have expected him to do a little better on that front.

Klep is the root of kleptomaniac.

Yeah and the great thing is it's klept in the past tense, picking up that t, it's not klepped. Very cool verb.

Indeed it is. Well spotted.

Better than a cat any time.

But maybe not for catching mice.

When I was at C.H. everyone was banned from visiting Horsham for a whole term due to a spate of shoplifting. Apparently the coats made this quite easy.....

This meant it became quite difficult to get one's fags and booze.

We found ways, though........
