I promise I won't tell Gemma about the hauntings of Coleridge B.
The bocker that hanged himself in the tube and tries to re-gain entrance to the school via the sealed tube entrance to Coleridge House !!!!!!!!!
But on the bright side, Gemma would have enjoyed Coleridge B many years ago, around the early 60's, me-thinks !
.... and on the even brighter side, Coleridge B IS the nearest house to..............................
THE CHAPEL.
REPENT, ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE !!!!

Is that because there would be 60 boys with just
one Gemma?

What is a bocker?
A bocker is (or was) a member of the estate staff, i.e. catering staff, cleaners, groundsmen, handymen etc.
The use of the word is probably discouraged these days.

Hi Gemma,
aren't you lucky to have my mum as assistant housemistress!
And to go back a few pages, I have no idea where Chris got the horse...

I remember when i was at CH between 95-00 being told that we weren't alowed to call them Bokers, we did anyway. Also we were told that we weren't allowed to call 2nd formers Squits

That's a bit pedantic, CJ ?
I thought Gemma might be in need of spiritual guidance !

Spiritual guidance J.R?
I think you may have the wrong person. I bet hundreds or years ago I may have been burnt at the state for blasphemy and all types of hericies........Which means I should leave my self made t-shirts at home. The slogans aren't quite appropriate for a Christian school
Closest to the dining hall and tuck shop !!!!!! yumm. It almost compensates for not being able to go to the shops when ever I want.
J.R! what do you take me for? some type of scarlet lady?????? With 60 boys and only myself. I'm ashamed. ashamed.
To return to the many pages ago convo on girdles. My freind who is going ( thornton A ) was actualy worried that the uniform list actualy meant girdles, in the non-belt sense. I had to dissuade her of the illusion quickly.
Questionio: Do 6th formers go to new entrant's day?. It's mentioned on almost every page in the booklet and yet it isnt clear whether we have to go to that or it implied the induction week.

If you did have to go, then you've missed it, as it was on Sunday!
I should just wait for induction week
