    Well they're enough of a faith to be filthy heretics bound for the lowest pits of hell, p.

    Didn't you go to a CofE school, b? I mean, I did as well - at least it meant I could opt out of assemblies in sixth form as they had a religious element

    Why would you want to opt out of assemblies? Surely everyone loves a good sing-song, don't they?

    The only decent one I can remember is when the headmaster read out the cricket score from India as both Gatting and Fowler had scored double centuries

    I went to a public school founded by a post-reformation Archbishop of Canterbury whose religious observances - such as they were - were high-church Anglican, but it wasn't a C of E school as such.

    And I loved assemblies. All the masters in gowns and, lots of hymn singing and the music master thumping away sweatily at his mighty organ - marvellous!

    I still find myself singing C of E hymns. So much better than all those dreary Catholic ones.

    We had those assemblies in my first year at school but then they banned hymns. We sang the school song twice a year but otherwise, nothing!

    Most people seemed to be in agreement that hymns had been banned 'cos of the jews'......

    Shame. We had a wonderful organ.....
