As a callow youth at Accy Tech I always took with a pinch of salt when told that Paddock House girls were lectured by the Nuns at Paddock House on the dangers of wearing patent leather shoes.
Well the wheel has gone full circle!
Just had a pleasant Sunday dinner up at the Griffin's Head with my son and family and guess what my grandaughter (14) who is at "The Academy" tells me?
Yup
Patent leather shoes are banned because people can use the reflection to look up a girls skirt.
Have we moved on in the last 50 odd years? Apparently not.
And howabout this one guys and gals?
She tells me also they are not allowed to have their hair in a bun at school?
Can anybody explain that one to me?
I have asked Bex to find out the reasons on that one cos' I am stumped
