Why did we wear them? WHY?!
I mean, I understand wearing something under netball skirts, but those monstrosities?

I don't think we ever had to wear them on their own...thank the lord.

I was shit at sport. I think I scored a goal in hockey once, it shocked everyone.

Imagine
being 14 and having to wear a yellow polo shirt and black lycra shorts and play volleyball with the boys. Scarred me for life.

If we lost the skirt, and there were none spare you had to wear the green PE knickers by themselves. Or if they were feeling merciful you could wear your winter tracksuit bottoms

We had them at my school. I felt bad for whoever forgot to bring theirs as they had to go through the lost property cupboard to find a huge scratchy pair to wear

Lost property cupboard.
That place still gives me nightmares.

Not quite as bad was the labcoat bucket. You had to find one that wasn't too stained or too smelly or too big or too small. My labcoat turned an interesting shade of pink when I splashed acid on it- never knew navy blue reacted that way...
