Hi Dave and Tony, least Somerset was full of ambitious boys, the only hot air to come out of our dorm was when we was having our turkish baths when Mrs Goodman used to wake us up, there was lots of hot air. Imagine having rubber lips Wilson waking you say no more!

The reason for the excess hot air from Somerset was from all our celebrations due to the amount of trophies we were always winning! Mr Wilson from Macandrew asked Mr Tempest to build them a trophy cupboard but it remained empty,but the last we heard of it they used it to change the light bulbs in the dorm!

Macandrew's needed radiators because the main building was kept warm with all the "hot air from Somerset!"

A few little stories from Dick Lang
"In my time at Goldings inspection of the dorm was done by a senior boy,who would throw a penny onto your folded sheets/blankets,and if it didn't bounce enough for him to catch it he would tip it up and you had to start again"
"One day we were on parade when two boys had got onto the top of the tower and pelted us with conkers,they were caned"
"At chapel we always used to get on the back pew and read our comic's while Corbett did the sermons.One Sunday Corbett spotted us,and without saying anything slowly walking up the aisle towards us but slowly lowering his voice so it seemed to us he was still at the altar,came up behind us and gave us a bang on the back of our heads!"
"At one of our suppers we always had what we thought was smelly cheese and a apple,so the one time we pre arranged with all the boys after we had done our "for all we are about to receive..." to throw this cheese at one of the masters,I think it was Reg Purkis (or as we called him ..RAGS..cause he always seemed scruffy) at the appointed time we all stood up and threw it at him,Joe Patch restored order!" (looking back it was good quality cheese,but to us it smelled like sweaty socks!)
"I think most of us can recall the infamous porridge "Pongy" which did vary in strength on a daily basis,but one day it was really thick,so all of us turned our plates over,removed the plate which exposed the "pongy" looking like a jelly and all walked out"
A few little incidents from the early 50's that looking back made the place so enjoyable Dick Lang.
