On my first day at grammar school, I too, wore my satchel with both straps over my shoulders for all of 30 minutes until someone explained to me that anyone who was anyone only used one strap. :)

what about the blazer buttons? most pointless part of the uniform ever, they should *NEVER* be fastened, ever... we never had the rucksack thing about 2 straps though, our bags were so heavy with all the textbooks and such that they had to be carried on 2 shoulders...

as for the fringe though... :rolleyes:

:rofl: - although I shouldn't laugh, we had a rule at my Grammar school that all 1st & 2nd year boys had to wear shorts unless they were over 5ft tall - guess who was the only one still in shorts at the end of the 2nd year. :eek: :blush:

The fringe thing was definately a feature of the 70's, old school pic of sis and me looks like ours were cut by Stevie Wonder with some garden shears :erm:

I was convinced I'd have the crap beaten out of me everyday. Hey, I was 11. I was young and stupid..

At the risk of sounding like a right old git Grange Hill was scarey in the olden days, have to agree with you stu :tu:

i went to a grammer school in its last few years before it became a comprehensive , the teachers wore stupid batman capes and mortar boards and all first years had to wear caps......
these were all stolen by the big boys , buried in longjump sandpits , flushed , willys drawn on them etc etc , if you werent fast enough to hide them...
hahaha happy times NOT
how i laughed when the bullies all got their come-uppance after we went comprehensive and joined up with the school full of ruff boys from next door (my mates who were too thick for grammer school)

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

lol, the memories - our teachers had the gowns, but not the mortar boards. We also had to wear caps - but only out of school, and for the first couple of years, as I was a 'boarder', that included Saturday as well:erm:

Opportunities for 'creative bullying' were enhanced in the boarding part of the school (about 50 of us in a roll of 600 odd), including being ejected outside naked late at night, being locked in a locker & therefore being punished for missing supper, multiple waterbombs while sat in the 'open top stall' type toilets etc,etc :eek: - funny enough, by the time we got old enough to be on the giving, rather than receiving end, it had died down - we were more concerned with trying to sneak out, or going for a fag in the den we built under the stage:D

<edit> and before any bright spark comments;), 'fagging' had been abolished by then - but my first year I had the privilege of cleaning a prefects shoes & footy boots for 3d a week (1.25p) :)

i remember when i started middle school it was a nightmare, dad is the caretaker of the school so we live in the school grounds.... by the big kids i was always known as "mr c's daughter" although it did mean i didn't get picked on by them, and actually in secondary school the big lads used to stick up for me a lot, if they sort anyone giving me grief

at secondary school we soon cottoned on to the fact you had to do your blazers up, so we removed them, can't do them up if you have none ;)
and they used to do that annoying thing of measuring how long your skirts were....boy were we pleased when we were in year 9 (about 13 ish) when they introduced girls being able to wear trousers, although i had to hide from the headmaster for two years, because i used to wear "fashionable" i.e. baggy legged/flared trousers.....
