In my schooldays I had a standard blazer with a badge stitched onto the top pocket. When I outgrew the blazer, the badge was transferred to the next one. If I wore out the cuffs or the elbows of the blazer my mother repaired them with matching leather. My grammar school cap and tie lasted the whole of my duration at the school. Before the start of school in the morning, there were prefects stationed 200 yards in both directions from the school to check that we were wearing the required items of uniform. I wore short trousers until I was 12. If we met the Headmaster walking to school we had to touch our cap and say "Good morning , sir." We didn't complain about or rebel against the rules. We accepted that discipline was necessary and normal.
