    I've vague recollections of 'sir' at secondary, but I can't really remember, tbh. Not sure on the primary set up, more of a 'Mr', I'd imagine.

    I keep thinking it's Otis Deadwood and that he'll jump into into a fit of curses that sound suitably Shakespearian and the like. :pac:

    We called our english teacher in first year Wiggy... I have no idea how she got that name, but she taught my mother about 20 years before hand and when I told my mother my teachers name was "wiggy" she was like, "Is she still there?!" so obviously it had been her name for years.

    Shirts, ties and v-neck jumpers in 1st year, but that was phased out in favour of long-sleeve polo shirts and round-neck jumpers.

    Ours was nice, red jumper, white shirt, grey skirt that you either had your mam take up at the hem, or you'd roll it up at the waist to make it shorter :pac:
