We HATED them, but the senior mistress would make us all stand on benches and would LIFT OUR SKIRTS using her brolly to check we were wearing them!

Ours were made out of the same fabric as the tunic or dress we wore, and really were bloomers - puffy pants that came in with elastic at the top of the legs. They were the precursor to 'scungees', which were spandex-type big pants in black (though you could also get them in fetching shades of bottle green and navy).Rachel @ TheKidsAreAllRighthttp://www.thekidsareallright.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403884662501199270.post-29395512554936579352013-01-08T12:36:29.097+11:002013-01-08T12:36:29.097+11:00In NSW I remember calling them bummers.
