Dennis the Menace
You may have had to be there, but on a mufti day (own clothes day, you know), at an age where fashion had just started to REALLY matter, I spent days worrying about what to wear to avoid piss taking and beatings by older lads.

Luckily, a lad in my class managed to take the brunt of pain from the ENTIRE school by turning up in a cotton tracksuit with Dennis The Menace cartoons on the chest, and a little Gnasher cartoon biting at his ankles on the jogging bottoms. I remember a cartoon speech bubble said, "Gnash-Gnash!"

We were 15. Fifteen!
When I first clapped eyes on the poor lad, who was innocently just not as grown up as some, he already had the dead eyed look of someone ten dead-arms down before lunch and all chance of sex reduced to very high odds.

"I didnt know they made pyjamas like that," said a teacher.

I still smile about this sometimes. Gnash!

You still smile at his misery?
I guess you can take the cunt out of school, but you can never take the school out of the cunt.

Tracksuit
On a similar day at my school, a boy turned up wearing a Captain Planet tracksuit.

Captain Planet. This was in 1995.

Oh lord.

This is why I fully endorse school uniforms.
Imagine being judged on your choice of clothes every single day, when you're not yet old/mature enough to understand that your satorial tastes will never please everybody, and that no matter what you wear, someone is going to take the piss out of you.
