After our recent trip to Wild Cat Island I would suggest a midden contatins a lot of Boy Scout stuff and the odd used French letter. Although the Lake District was very clean. A bit like Paul's father in "A Hard Day's Night."
On a totally off the topic point, the Lake District has some great places where you could take a Partner (note: the non sexist use of the term and the non gender specific nature of either partner) for some quiet snogging.
Now this is completely on topic - was lesbianism a magor problem in English girls Boarding Schools. I mean we always talk about John and Nancy, but what about Peggy and Susan?
Please do not flame me for this, the church I attend in the USA (Congragational) is about 50% gay. SO it is a normal part of our weekly life.
