Tina you reminded me what most of my detentions were for, not wearing my hat on my way to or from school. We had to wear a beret in the winter and a straw boater in the summer and many times on the journey to and from school, my hat was in my satchel. We had a long walk to school along a couple of really busy roads and quite often would be seen by one of the teachers as they drove to school. I really wasn't a badly behaved pupil, did well at subjects and actually loved school, but those hats were the worst thing about it.
