re: Vindicatrix Toilets
Seems to me you lot had it easy. It was a lot tougher in 1949. Remember those cold showers? Guess we all had them. Doing dhobi in cold water wasn't much fun either.Guess it taught us all to grow up quickly. Do it all again if we could,wouldn't we?

re: Vindicatrix Toilets
I do not wear it that often.You wont offend me,but if it
offends you that much then please let me know when you
will be next at the Reunion and I shall make a point of not
wearing it as I would not like to look a right A**e Hole in
front of anyone.
