i remember a long thread in 1998 with the anally retentive head of
Erith school saying may god daughter couldn't wear trousers in
winter....

When I was about 10 years old I was sent home from school in a raging
blizzard because my mum had insisted I wear trousers rather than a skirt and
ankle socks. I thought things had improved since those days. Evidently not.
(My mum didn't let me go back until the weather improved, and you can
imagine how furious she was that they made me walk home alone in a howling
blizzard!)

When I was a secondary school we all wore mini-skirts no matter how cold
it was. Of course we wore thick tights with them, but all the same...
