Extract Of Ian Jacks Write Up In The Guardian

I could not have said better myself...

'The Eton-Harrow match declined as a social occasion in the years after the war. Hardly anyone goes now apart from the pupils, some very reluctantly, and the dress code is "smart casual": if a photographer wanted to re-create Sime's picture, he might be faced with five boys dressed much the same, in jeans and brand names. Giving a superficial impression of equality, the picture would be even more of a lie than before.'
