What a load of shite this is

[Darwins Selection]

It's shapeless and baggy. Never mind sexy the whole thing is unattractive and unflattering.

I am accustomed to females who are shapeless and baggy, without clothes.

Yes but these are teenagers! They all look repulsive in it. Nothing good about that uniform at all.

Level playing field for the ugly ducklings?

Questions -

Would you have gone to school in such a unform? (How do parents manage it?)

Would you be happy for your child to go to school wearing that uniform?

Although obviously one doesn't make one's educational choices based upon the uniform I have to say I think it's vile. It doesn't even look smart which I thought was the point of a uniform.

Having just looked at the website it is all clear now. It's a catholic school. They have clearly gone out of their way to make it as unattractive as possible, so my kids wouldn't go there anyway because I don't agree with organised religion.

When are your kids due?

I'm not actually religous but it it is a good school.

Anyway I'm going to take some of my passionate leave now. I will see if any St Phil photos are available, tomorrow night.

There is a local school to us ~ also Catholic/Private/Grant Aided and all the other stuff, that has a similar uniform. It has something to do with TRADITION ~ in other words it hasn't actually seen any need to change for the past fifty years. In the 1950s when I was at school all girls looked like that and all boys wore grey flannel shorts until they were 14.

Yes some parents make the choice on religious grounds, some for the "Values" that the "Tradition" indicates to them and some just to be different but the kids seem to survive despite all.

Oh and School uniforms serve two purposes. They create a "corporate identity" with which the children can and do bond and they prevent any "My clothes are more fashionable than yours" bullying.

St Phil's was known as the "Ho's down the hill" or "St Syph's" when I was at Sutton Manor. Dirty girls, indoctrinated into not using contraception. Enter at your risk  And as for their exam results...

Still, at lease my school had a "lovely" maroon blazer...

I don't think i've explained myself very clearly. I'm sort of 'hedgeing' around my worries. Not easy to explain myself on here without the possibility of causing some grief, hence the 'cloak and dagger' stuff.
 Nick knows my concern as i've spoken to him on a one to one basis, and it is genuine, i can assure you.

I've nowt gainst banter in here, or anywhere tbh. Helps brighten our dull days up, and i don't want you thinking that i'm just simply after some serious conversation.

Ahh, bollocks, i've still not explained myself properly. Impossible to explain myself properly in here.Lets just leave it ey.
PM me if you want the reasons.

Exactly why this forum is so cliquey IMO.

All this paranoia and private messaging, no wonder nobody posts here who didn't know anyone for years on GOM first

Hmmmnnn... 

Apart from those that didn't of course...

So true, I was a very infrequent poster on GOM because I found it quite overpowering, I wandered into here by accident, I thought it was a house of disrepute and decided to stay,
