As for uniform, we all wore tabbed garters,
in dark blue. In my time we had no blazers or caps I think. If I am right here,
that might have been a hangover from wartime rationing. I do however remember,
rationing or no, the very handsome Billings and Edmonds overcoat in a
brown-and-fawn herring bone tweed with a dark chocolate collar. I can only
remember wearing this sumptuous garment once at the beginning of each term, as
we gathered at Waterloo to board our reserved coach of
the all-Pullman Bournemouth Belle.
