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

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

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...

Interesting, it's gone the other way now. Mini-skirts not allowed

The argument rages on about school uniforms (taking place in other

There ought to be mass debates in all the schools about uniforms, and
then a vote takes place, about whether to keep them or not. Children of
ALL ages to be allowed to vote

I hope you mean just the *girls* had to...
