The Oxfam shop, in Wrawby Street, Brigg, is advertising the availability of a large supply of Brigg Primary School uniforms.
When we started Brigg Grammar School, in 1967, a neighbour whose sons had completed their education, let mother have a few items we could use. They included a quality football shirt in quartered shades of blue.
At the opening "games" lesson it became obvious that this style had been discountinued some years earlier, in favour of a more modern plain-blue shirt.
Anyone remember those quartered shirts? I kept mine for many years, to wear out of school. It was much warmer than the T-shirt replacements. Waste not, want not!

When I went to school, we were so poor that our football kit was spray-painted.....
I know it helps the charity shop...but there is a clear opening for the school to collect uniform items from its school leavers....and pass them on to others....it's called re-cycling....
