[edit] Sheep
Not the kind of thing that should go into the article (mostly due to lack of verification) but at a number of other independent schools during the 90s Charterhouse was known as "Chaaaaaaaarterhouse", with a long-drawn-out sheeplike noise in the middle. This was due to a supposed incident in which several boys had been found engaging in some kind of sexual act with a sheep in a bedroom or dorm at Weekites House. I've no idea if the story is true, but it was certainly widespread. PeteVerdon 13:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Grounds of Charterhouse
Removed this section due to NPOV and fact it adds nothing to the article.
It read in full "The grounds at Charterhouse really are beautful and this is all thanks to the truly dedicated team of groundsmen and women who maintain the beauty of the school."[[User:Disneyfreak96|StareGirl]
[edit] Charterhouse terms
Is it true that the vocabulary of Charterhouse is called "notions", like that of Winchester, or is that a misunderstanding? Can some Carthusian enlighten me? --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 16:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I am a present carthusian now going in the upper sixth, most of the words shown we use, but some are extinct. We do not call it "notions," its just our school slang, nothing really special.
[edit] What has happened to the section on houses?
[edit] A vindication of the rights of sheep
The sheep rumour as you recount it is not entirely true. The actual story is that a number of Second Years in Weekites made a bet with some other pupils that they could capture a sheep from some nearby farmland and keep it alive in one of their rooms for a week. They succeeded and the rumours about sexual abuse of the sheep were no doubt circulated by the pupils who lost the bet to the Weekites.
[edit] Where has the article gone?!?!?!?!?!?!?????
Why has such a large section of the article been deleted? I am shocked at how much has gone. Bring it back! Bring it back! Bring it back!
- Now fixed, though I've removed the glossary on the basis it could be considered to be listcruft. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] BRING BACK THE GLOSSARY
Please bring back the Glossary, it was so funny and extremley accurate, at least bring back the Glossary on the official website
[edit] Fees
Charterhouse is britain's most expensive public school. consult Tatler's school guide under boarding fees and stop changing it to 'second' to satisfy your financial insecurities.
Many thanks
