Speaking of school uniforms- I just watched a programme on BBC4 tonight about the heyday of coach tours- after the trains, before the car. There was a picture of prewar crowds queuing to get onto their holiday coaches at Victoria Coach station, making the point that even going on holiday, everybody was smart; the women in best dresses, every man wearing a hat. All the children were in school uniform, and someone from the time was saying how proud they were to wear it.
