Schools' of Victoria.>>
Nope, wasn't that one. Of course, I've forgotten the name of the
school in the film now. It definately had "Victoria" in it somewhere,
but it ended in "Boy's School" It wasn't Erinsbourough High, Summer
Bay High or Heartbreak High either.. ;P
Cindy, those books sound lots of fun. I may have to go and waste some
time on Amazon. As opposed to Yahoo.
I love hearing about all the sniggersome prefect traditions. My
school did have them at one point, but by the time I got to 6th year,
a new hippy headmaster had been installed. He changed the school's
Latin motto "Fidelis et Fortis" to "We value and respect the
diversity which exists among people", abolished the uniform, and
relaced the prefects with the Senior Executive Commitee, whose duties
included "befriending" first year pupils, organising dances,
repainting the Sixth Year common room and dressing up in cutesy
girlie Santa-frocks at the Christmas Carol Concert (actually, that
one was just me, although I was accompanied by Frosty the Snowman).
It was all terribly pc (except the last bit. That costume was
*short*.), but I did have a bit of a hankering for some good old
fashioned disciplinary action occasionally.

geography that assumes you can find London.
Bugger. I hadn't really thought of that. D'you think if I just got
off a train and asked a policeman...?
Kirstini, time-waster extraordinare today.
