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!)



A few years ago, a school here sent a pupil home for wearing a white cotton
shirt instead of a white polyester shirt.

I'm astonished the teacher could tell the difference!
