Today I accompanied a history department trip to the British Library so the new Lower Sixth could visit the 'Propaganda: Power and Persuasion' exhibition (which, if you have a free afternoon in London and £9 to spare, is well worth the trip!). They all seemed to really enjoy it, and even possibly learnt something from it.
*However*... for me, the best bit of the trip was listening to the conversation on the tube on the way down:
"If you think about it, why do we really need clothes?"
"I don't understand matching socks. Do you think it's a corporate conspiracy?"
"No, I do think humour is genetic. But only Jewish humour."
"If there was a fire, you'd never get the mattress out my window, so I'd have to use pillows and aim my jump really well..."
"I mean, after a while it was really obvious he was trying to hit on me..." "That'll make things really awkward when he comes to mark your coursework." (Particularly concerned about that one!)
