Grandson new school uniform

Nah! Let them flounder Nellie ...don't be a spoilsport!!

Plimsolls, plimsoles, pumps, daps - who cares what anyone wears on Groundhog Day?

Personally I like a nice blazer, striped and trimmed with braid. Shorts for little boys of course oh, and caps to doff in winter and boaters in the summer. Pinafore drthe she's for the girls.
Some nice lace up brogues or Start rites for shoes but they would have to change into indoor shoes in the classroom. Daps would do.

iPad seems to have gone into meltdown
That was meant to be " pinafore dresses for the girls" not whatever I wrote!

AND of course, a beret or a straw hat for the little girls

Blimey you're almost describing my old school uniform, including a felt bowler and navy blue knickers !!

Don't forget the school tie! For both sexes, of course.

Also the bottle green gabardine mac.
Fortunately not compulsory and only seen on 1st years for the first week of September

ah - ours was Navy blue ! and the culottes for sports !!

A velour hat that had to be steamed and a plastic mac that was supposed to cover all during a summer shower including your blazer because you weren't allowed to take it off.

The velour hat was for winter and a panama for summer.

NanaandGrampy - oh those coulottes. Ours were navy woollen ones, deemed by the nuns to be modest, and not allowing anyone to have impure thoughts. Come to think of it the only male we ever saw was the priest .

and a satchel of course, no wonder I grew up lopsided !!

Remember the boys school in Lichfield. Shorts until the sixth form. The prefects had tassels on their caps!

My school uniform was fab - t-shirt, jeans or miniskirt and plimsols. Done.
