Testimonials
This section is devoted to the glowing testimonials you have sent us. Of course, a little more modesty would better become us as public school men, but we've been exposed to the corrupting influences of the world for too long now.
"Excellent website and one which will have therapeutic value for anyone who was forbidden to whinge at the time of receiving their dire education on the grounds of ingratitude etc etc".
Re school songs and girls schools. St Leonards School in St Andrews had a school song book and a real favourite - not with the girls, natch, but with the gorgonish staff was 40 Years On. As staff loudly sung this nonsense we would be snickering about which girl was most likely to become the tramp of 22 men... (LM)
Actually, if we're talking about sadistic schoolteachers, I have a few memories. I hope you have enough server space. (RH)
Having noted your communication in the Eye I would like to enquire as to the possibility of upcoming open days at Swinestead. Upon visiting, I fully expect to be roundly ignored by head as a prospective pupil and left in some antechamber with a school photo album whilst he completes sales pitch to my aged Ps - no chance of any uncomfortable moments eh!? While I am there I wish to hear tales of how the scholars in 1790 had to bathe in a freezing millpond and view a collection of tapestries celebrating the institution's enviable achievements in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme (Bronze).
