Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Billy Bragg's Top Ten


The Guardian newspaper today published an excellent list of books about being British compiled by singer, songwriter and all round good guy Billy Bragg. I'll second Billy's recommendations of the Orwell, Hill, Thompson and particularly the Jon Savage book on punk. Check it out at:

I'll third the Savage book and propose an addition. "Those Feet" by David Winner.

Life ain't all politics Billy-boy!

It is true that I've never heard Billy say anything one way or 'tuther about the footie. Not sure he supports a particular side or not. Definitely a lapse in judgement. He should at least second the "Come on you Reds," sentiment!
