That was why Sir Colin Davis's sisters gave the school fosh knoves and forks when they left.

Re: What next?
Those fish knives and forks!
They lived in a metal box in the House kitchen and were lugged up to Dining Hall for Friday lunch. Every so often they were cleaned with some weird pink polish stuff.
The fish knives and forks were made from a dull slightly bendy metal which absorbed avidly the aroma of every particle of Baked Fish/Cheese Fish. They smelled absolutely horrible. If one were On Hallwork on a Friday, the opening of the fish cutlery tin was a sickening experience, as the cumulative smell of the cutlery which had brewed in the tin Saturday - Thursday broke forth with a fishy vengeance.
Gerrie, be glad, very glad that you don't remember this!

Re: What next?
Gerrie, I am gobsmacked, Munch has described them exactly.
