Nope Dan, he can't! Although his is a state school, it's Catholic with very strict rules. I have to buy him a whole new uniform for the 6th form, just so that he can look like a sack of spuds in a different colour lol. Mandy :))

First, I'd love to answer your question but I don't know what sartorial means :-). Second, If he's going to sixth form or wherever he can wear whatever you want. Lots more washing and early morning ironing for you to look forward to.

Dan, come and give my 16 year old son some sartorial tips will you? Being in year 11, he's still wearing uniform which includes a burgundy blazer. No matter how often I wash the blazer or iron his trousers, he still looks like he's slept in his uniform. I yearn for him to wear a smart suit and shirt lol. Mandy :)

No I've never `had` to, but I like to anyway. Today I wore my dark red shirt. Very stylish. I wonder if someone saw a photo of me in the future would reckon I went round like that everyday. How wrong would they be!

The B.T centre in Oswestry. Very complicated and rediculously high paid people. Did you know that one million quid is made every 3 seconds at B.T? At the end we got to sit in the seats which overlooked the main operation area. We were up behind a glass wall looking down at the people and the big screens. It was very similar to that in the James Bond, Goldeneye. There was only about 10 people looking after the whole system and it was all very calm and relaxed. I was exepecting a little more hussle and bussle but all they did was sit at their desks and type. Good trip although it went on a bit too long.
