Louis Theroux visits the Chalet School

For that matter, David Attenborough might find them an interesting study!

Haha, I can just imagine Louis Theroux interviewing Joey - looking at her in that slightly puzzled, concerned manner he usually has with the 'mad Americans'.

Summerbreezing the answer to your question us due to how slow the English legal system was to catch up with the changing roles of women.

My husband's aunty was an Italian single mum. His cousin was born in about 1954. When his cousin was sent to the UK to start school, in advance of her Mum coming to live in the UK, she had to have a "Guardian" and even though she was a niece to DH's Mum, his dad had to be the Guardian.

I found most of this out when DH's dad died, and his cousin (who I am very close to) spoke at the funeral.

I loathe people who say "I just spat tea over the keyboard" but I turned into one of them when I read The Chalet School Gets Nits :o

The Chalet Girls Go On The Pull - all about a wild night in Innsbruck.

PMSL.....

The Chalet School Gets Nits and The Chalet School And Ofsted. Oh I would pay good money for those books.

I always saw Blossom Willoughby AS a cart horse. She probably grew up and became Chummy from Call The Midwife.

I don't think the Chalet School was capable of getting nits, if it's true that they only like clean hair. The CS girls washed their hair once a week max (when Joey & Co dusted flour into the hair of some of the others - Lonny and someone else, possibly Corney, the victims were particularly pissed off about having to have their hair washed when they weren't due to have it done for another week.)

Safeguarding at the Chalet School

That's not a novel though. It's a government report on endemic child protection failures, with lessons to be learned for future tri-lingual posh boarding schools in furrin lands.

The Chalet School and Interpol The police -alerted by suspicious locals after Joey is back in her size 8 skirt a day after giving birth to quads - discover that all of her children have, in fact, been kidnapped from various families in Austria, Guernsey, Wales and Switzerland. None of them are even related, never mind twins and triplets. As Interpol set about re-uniting them with their various families, the staff simply howl with laughter at her latest escapade. "Typical Jo" gasps Miss Wilmott "we'll never let her hear the end of this, I can tell you".
Miss Annersley wipes tears of mirth from her eyes "Oh Joey" she says "will she ever grow up?"

Ladies, I have been trying to read on the Sally Denny library (on I-Pad). I'm not sure if I am being particularly dense, but, I can't open any stories to read. I can see the summary. But how do I get in?

Please

On the lady thread someone (sorry can't remember who) was talking about Joey being Mamma (how did she pronounce that? Ma-Ma or ma-marrrrr?) well my daughters (3&7) call me that. DS did it to start with.

I'd be very grateful, have just realised I have a series of inevitably late-running ante-natal clinics coming up...

I wonder if they would have ever done The Chalet School Bake Off.

Doughnut made with cod liver oil- delicious.
