Re: How you had your School tie

Hated them dangling, so as long as possible, so it tucked into trousers

Cool. Hmm I liked my'n a CM or 2 long (but that left yards and yards of broad bit to tuck in). Still love the style now!

Re: How you had your School tie

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

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

Re: How you had your School tie

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!

Re: How you had your School tie

I don't remember anything about the narrow and wide ends of the tie. But I do remember the knots! For most of the 70s, the fashion was for the knot to be huge!

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

Football Shirts (under your School Shirt) or Shorts 4 PE

Or even Footy Shirts AND Shorts for PE too. Who else ever did this?, if so which where they?

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!

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!

Re: How you had your School tie

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

Yeah but which was at the front in 5th Year though?
