What were the "house names" in your school?

[brighton bluenose]

yep, i was in Wolstenbury, trust them to give me the most difficult to spell.

I would have been there for a while with you, but you would have just been a whippersnapper of a saucepanlid whereas i was a big boy.

I was feeling old after my post, you've just made me feel (a bit) better!! Ha ha

Woodingdean Middle School:
Downs - yellow
Hill - Green
Town - Red
Sea (?) - Blue

Cliff was Blue when I was there.

Longhill was;
Arundel - Red
Bramber - Green
Chichester - Blue
Hastings - Yellow
Lewes - Black
Pevensy - White

I think those warer the colours - someone correct me if I am wrong.
