like Ms Lemon in 2003, I couldn't help feel the stirring of those nascent feelings of sexual longing aroused by the three Mary's, who featured on the cover of my sister's Schoolfriend Magazine. I was particularly taken by the leader of the group, who had " a chestnut mane".

There was another story line about an unfortunate public schoolgirl called Lettice Leaf - the greenest girl in the school. Well, she wore glasses...... what a hoot!
