[QUOTE="Ticklishchap, post: 1025301, member: 84583"] Our schools were probably quite similar: mine was all-boys’, but multi-ethnic/international, which would probably not have been possible for your school at that time. There were a lot of sports on offer, including riding, shooting, athletics - and football as well. We had a Cadet Corps as well with sections for the 3 Armed Forces. Cricket I didn’t get into so much; I liked the culture associated with it and wearing Cricket jumpers, etc., but I somehow didn’t work up much enthusiasm for the game. We have quite a lot of Afrikaans speakers here in the UK now, especially in London and the South East. There is even an Afrikaaner restaurant near where I work (although I haven’t been there for a while because of working from home and restaurants being closed anyway). I really like the accent and have heard that the language is easy to learn. Maybe I should try. We have isiXhosa and isiZulu speakers as well. [/QUOTE]
