The Chummy is standing by until the director flags Neil Innes and Roger Ruslin Spear to come round the corner in a Trojan, the Chummy will try to chase the Trojan but in a thick cloud of exhaust smoke will crash through the door of the All Saints Hall and interupt a rehersal by Pink Floyd, who had skived off school for the afternoon. The sound track is Vivian Stanshall singing Do Not Adjust Your Mag. I might have misremebered some of that. Either that or it is the Catford Girls Grammar School Sixth Form Revolutionary Society in 1968, just about to set off to Paris for a little rioting. I must go back to the workshop and play some Nick Drake tracks to the Chummy.1969 - dash, just six years too late for me, but the 6th Form girls at High Storrs were pretty revolutionary. After all, Philip Larkin's poem's opening lines –
"Sexual intercourse began
In nineteen sixty-three
(which was rather late for me) -
Between the end of the "Chatterley" ban
And the Beatles' first LP"
