St.Clare's v Malory Towers

[reelingintheyears]

Why was that thread just pulled?

[youarekidding]

St Clares, your Twins enjoyed it that summer term.

I always wanted to go Malory Towers, have the nerve of Elizabeth the naughtiest girl in school, and have adventures like the famous five. Enid Blyton has a lot to answer for.

Now I just want to go to Hogwarts but I'm not sure I'd receive a traditional English Education there [hwink]

[usualsuspect]

I think circus girl Carlotta was responsible ....


I typed a post and wooosh it was gone

[reelingintheyears]

They were very naughty girls though.

Poor old Miss Theobald had her work cut out.


BTW....I didn't report anything.....i am not a sneak.

[IamtheSnorkMaiden]

sucks teeth Controversial.

[beanlet]

Racist OP.

It's Kingscote for my money, especially for gels who like cricket.

[HumphreyCobbler]

ooh yes, Kingscote for me too please

[SecretNorbertFix]

I'd prefer the chalet school to be fair. Pretty uniform, loads of excursions, Swiss chocolate!

[usualsuspect]

I never reported it ,it was too funny to report

[LawrieMarlow]

Kingscote for me too :)

[LawrieMarlow]

Although despite my name am really not a Lawrie. Would like to be Miranda I think.

[heronsfly]

Chalet school for me too,but I might skip the cold baths in the morning,even if it was followed by Anna steaming hot( special receipe )chocolate.

[reelingintheyears]

Cripes....just saw this on 'i'm watching'......

Had forgot.....

Gotta larf.

I always fancied Trebizon School - a bit less dated than Malory Towers.

However I don't think they got the talk 'we don't count our sucesses as those who get good grades, although of course these are great acheivements, but we count sucesses as those who...............' or something like that.

[reelingintheyears]

Trebizon School?

Never heard of it.

Sorry.

Not Enid Blyton.

[Milngavie]

St Clare's here.

Didn't like the Malory Towers uniform .

[PotteringAlong]

Would definitely want to go to the chalet school given the choice. What I couldn't do at a sheets and pillow case party!

Malory Towers seemed more fun than St Clare's, but the Naughtiest Girl was at a mixed school that did gardening which sounded cool (my school had pupils' gardens way back when the latin teacher was a gel there, but they were tarmacced into netball courts by the time I was there- shame, I'd have rather grown peas!)

I really wanted to have adventures caused by being in a stolen helicopter etc (valley of adventure) and solve crimes like Fatty and the Find-outers though.

[SecretNorbertFix]

you could have the baths lukewarm if you wanted- just not hot!

[PotteringAlong]

Hot baths. The scourge of the devil along with sleeping in and not keeping your cubicle tidy... :)

[lovecorrie]

But no-one in any of enid blytons books ever went for a wee or a poo did they? Even on islands or up mountains. NEVER!

[lovecorrie]

Fatty was so called because of his initials you know - Frederick Algernon Trotteville. I want to go on Mastermind and have EB as my subject

[Feenie]

Me too - but I would win

[LawrieMarlow]

I could join in from the sidelines :)

[thetasigmamum]

Kingscote for me for sure. I'm probably Ann. Although I would like to be Miranda. Or, Nick, obv.

[hocuspontas]

St Clare's for me. That cold swimming pool at Malory Towers - ugh! I'd be shivering at the side with Gwen and Mary-Lou. Also Darrell with her slaps got on my nerves.
