.

Wow 24 pages and only one mention of my school Stringer, a Brighton school at that, which I left in 1959.

Hollingbury, Surrenden, Ditchling and Beaconsfield.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

A little surprised, I think that I'd always assumed that school houses were only done in fee-paying schools - maybe because the only time I had them was at Shoreham Grammar, and never came across them anywhere else. I guess my assumption was wrong.

Based on my incorrect assumption, when I saw 18 pages for this topic, I thought it would be mostly a binfest slamming of "elitest" non-state schools. I was wrong, no binfest here (yet) .... good, I like a bit of peace and harmony once in a while.
