I wore school uniform at a school in the West of England between 1944
and 1949: my main complaint was the way in which the hard serge of the short trousers cut you behind the knees! There was also a certain
amount of problems because some families could not afford the
uniforms, and their children had to wear second-hand uniforms, and
they were to some extent looked down on and bullied. I don't know
whether you would call nudity a uniform, but when we went to the
swiming pool we didn't wear bathing suits and swam naked.
