    As I admitted, my stereotype is out of date! But the stories of players being hit with sticks contributed to the mannish woman mythology!

    I agree. It's the seemingly unimportant stereotypes that are sometimes harder to challenge or dislodge from one's mind.

    School and college sports

    Hockey was not an option at my boys' school and men's college because it was culturally a girls' aNS women's sport. I know men and boys do play hockey and did then in some schools/colleges but the association has stayed in my mind - as well as an association with somewhat 'mannish' women. I know...

    Army training at high school was good discipline and structure as well as fresh air and exercise. I enjoy long distance hiking these days.

    I went on playing Rugby into my second year at university but it was for the camaraderie really as I wasn't a brilliant player.

    Did you continue Baseball to college level or was it just a high school sport for you?

    Cricket is a bit crazy. It wasn't my favourite sport (although I liked wearing cricket sweaters and still do occasionally). I was able to opt out of it in the sixth form but played occasionally if they needed an extra man. My sports were Rugger and cross country running.

    Which branch of the military were you in? Your commitment to physical fitness is admirable.

    There has been a massive expansion of university education at the expense of technical skills and practical abilities. Although I benefited from university/college there are other equally important things in life. The

    At my boarding school there was still corporal punishment in some houses but not mine. In the sixth form I had very good teaching and the masters were, in general, friendly and well-disposed. Any misbehaviour was on a light-hearted and humorous level.

    Very interesting - it's a much broader system in many ways than ours because we specialise early.

    Presumably those additional years are defined as senior as well.

    Actually I also enjoyed it very much - especially after the event. I loved the Fall colours and the sense of self-motivation. It was a great way to start the day - although I didn't always welcome the early rise.

    Cross country in the Fall: I remember it well!

    Yes, that's what I thought. When I was at school (a boys' boarding school in England and so there were different names for most things), the sixth form was the name for the last two years when we were 16-18: lower sixth and upper sixth. We didn't have gym classes in the timetable after our...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    That's interesting. I have heard of these vast outlet stores in the US. I have tended to favour the crew neck Woolly Pullies but am thinking about acquiring the V-neck in Brown or Dark Grey Mix, probably with epaulettes and pen pockets.

    Fading Fast, I am sure that everyone who sees this will understand immediately why I suggested you re-post them. I am already in touch with North Sea Clothing to add to my ridiculously large collection of woollies! But I have no intention to stop collecting. ...
