Hi Janice,

Oh dear!   Your message brought back such memories ...

I went to a grammar school in Cardiff, in South Wales, and the uniform
included the liberty bodice with the suspenders to hook our (dark green)
lisle stockings to, a pair of white cotton knickers, and over those a pair
of dark green knickers with long legs, and pockets in the legs.   In fact,
one of my friends - and we have both turned 60 just recently! - is *still*
called 'Pockets', by those of us who have known her since Methuselah was a
lad, because she actually used to use the pockets in her knickers.

I can't begin to imagine what we muct have looked like on the playing
fields/netball/tennis courts etc.   We had a sort of dark green Grecian
tunic, with red binding around the edges including the skirt, which was a
divided skirt, but even in that, the knickers showed below the skirts.   I
don't think we ever experienced lads - young or older, in raincoats or
without - hanging about the school railings to catch a glimpse of such
pulchritude!

Those *were* the days ...

It was an all girls school but the boys hung around the railings when we
were playing!
