Oooer, I wouldn't have dared not to wear my hat or my gloves in public. When I was just twelve a friend's father took me to London one day (from Southampton) and since he was in a hurry I didn't have time to change out of my uniform therefore walked around London wearing it, even when he left me for a while in a Soho coffee bar I kept my hat on!

One naughtiness which earned us order marks was having the top button of our summer dresses undone, we used to remove the button to avoid the order marks - we had to keep it buttoned until we were in the fourth year.
