Grandsons school uniform

Oh let's go back to the proper thing then. A length of cloth they can wear in the day and wrap round them when they go to sleep in their cardboard box. Oh and Jalima's socks of course.

Cmfort ? Comfort? what has that to do with School !!

The sporran with its bawbees to weigh it down sounds a tad uncomfortable to me ?

Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low, through the streets in ma kilt I go!

A proper kilt pin is a bit heavier and helps , the obligatory Sporran with a few Bawbees to weigh it down ensures modesty , especially if slung low

Would a safety pin actually keep their credentials in order? Those North winds are pretty..... windy ☹️

Oh, a safety pin is essential, so that when the North wind blows they don't inadvertently establish their credentials.?

Only a large safety pin.

Hope that you didn't leave any needles in it.?

Just so you know kilts are unisex , so that is why no 6 has a well darned kilt

Monty python will be turning in his grave - well you know what I mean

I meant to ask if anyone has seen my daps? I've left them somewhere and can't face another trip to Shoezone.

Not that tough though, as Prince Charles used to be a pupil.Although I did hear that he begged his Grandma to take him away.

Not THE Dunkirk I presume??

My lot are all down for Gordonstoun-yomping across snow covered heather glens in their plimsolls is very character building. We breed 'em tough up here

The M56 is near somewhere called Dunkirk apparently

bowls of gruel - DGD had to try gruel as part of a history lesson, she was quite reluctant apparently!

Bring back the good old days when children were thankful for a slice of dry bread and a drink of water from the well.
Spoilt I tell you, spoilt.

I so agree Wheniwasyourage children nowadays are so pampered, no chimneys or going down t'pit , even the scullery maid has disappeared. Bring back the Beadle and bowls of gruel ! !

This is getting ridiculous. There would be no need for tuck boxes or holey plimsolls if we all just went back to the good old days and sent children up chimneys where they belong. Don't know what the modern world is coming to.

Ah Bellanonna he had his hands full with a trunk of spare plimsolls for those less fortunate .

I don't think anyone know that Jalima ( where the M56 is)?
School days are so expensive, my DH (Mr Bunter)will have to do an extra days work to pay for the ski-ing trips, new polo pony
And all the postal orders we send which never seem to arrive for little Billy at Greyfriars School.Although after all the contents of the tuck box being eaten so quickly, he is not so little these days.

What am I supposed to do with 39 pairs of mismatched socks now Lona?

I need 39 children with two left feet.
All my efforts and I have no idea where the M56 is

When you think what children's clothes of any sort used to cost even a generation ago, all this stuff is incredibly cheap now - except if you want to get properly fitted shoes (Clarks etc), they still cost more than the rest of the outfit combined.

Actually, the box on the side of the M56 has solved all the problems!
No sign of the GC since!
Phew!

Aggie Kilts are a wonderful idea - they can be passed on to any DDs that Tree100 may have to provide uniform for in the future without adapting them!

Perhaps Lona could consider home schooling as the solution to her uniform problem- oh hang on a box on the M56 won't really do will it?
