  • What did you wear to school? (uniform-non uniform)

    What was the popular way? At my school you were dissed to h*ll for not wearing it with just the thin part showing.

    This was even so in the 1st Year (Year 7) you could get dissed for it but the Teachers would really have a dig at you for this and you'd get told off!

    1st year - normal tie
    2nd year - fat bit short and thin bit tucked in
    3rd year - fat bit tucked in and thin bit out
    4th and 5th year - both bits tucked in with just the knot showing

        Trainers or/and Polo Shirt after PE

        Which did you go for to keep on? With me it was my Polo. So in the meanwhile i'd make sure my School Shirt got deliberatly and fully creased and'd look awful worn!

          I don't remember anything about the narrow and wide ends of the tie. But I do remember the knots! For the latter part of the 70s, the fashion seemed to be for the biggest knots possible!

              Yeah it was more of an 80s/90s thing to just show the thin bit only!

                    At my school it was common for pupils to have a very small knot in their tie, often known as peanutting.

                        I left school in 1981 and remember it was the thing to do to have your tie in a huge big fat knot with the thick end dangling a few inches!

                        However, I recall getting a rip stitch going in the needlework lesson and undoing the stitching in the back of the tie, and then pressing it open, so it looked like a big flat 70's cravat! I got the rip took out of me, but i thought it was dead funny and I was leaving anyway!

                          I thought peanutting was when the knot was pulled tight!? Yeah/no!!?

                            I always reversed mine, so just the skinny end was visible.
