OTHER NOTES:

....where had the eldest taschmann gone to school? it was obviously a very 'posh one' in london or thereabouts...."a bit like winchester" replies MI5 ONLINE....it was winchester?

....all i can remember is this....a ladder, borrowed from 'somebody local'....up against the school wall, surrounding its environs......and a young lad climbing up it and then 'scaling the wall' down, upon the other side - why did he have to 'scale it'? because the second time that he was to use this 'technique' of gaining entry to the compound...he had realised that falling to the ground, wasn't an option....too high...the wall was too high....he had been lucky, the first time - but second time around....try to scale it until you fall off...that way the distance is lessened between you, the top of the wall, and the ground. 'just like a monkey' eh?

something that we were all to learn in 'monkey alter' as children....how to 'get down from a very high wall'....using various things, to stop our fall....so that the impact upon the ground 'wasn't that bad'.

anyway..... it had been him, hadn't it? the eldest taschmann as a 'young boy'....about 11 years old...

'roger' replies BI ONLINE...."our earliest known alias for him"....did you find that on a winchester register? i would doubt it - he was so good at 'changing records' everywhere to cover up....but 'roger' might be a clue as to which class he had been in....i mean, in which year he had been in...he knew a 'roger' in his year, that is for sure....or somebody who was called 'roger' because he had a cosmpolitan surname....rogger....roggerier.....roggeriez....i have no idea....ling can remember 'a personal friend who was rugby team leader....who couldn't pronounce rugger'.....rugby.

"i was rather like your dad...." the eldest taschmann had laughed...in that he hadn't made the 'first team' or any rugby team at all....but was best friends with somebody who pronounced 'rugger' as 'roo-gahr'....got to be french or from one of their departements, then?

anyway, what was that 'ladder up the wall' all about? well the eldest taschmann was found out for 'most things' as a boy and as a young teenager, by that school....but the staff didn't seem to mind....for example - the ladder up the wall' incident was to lead to him, 'not being cautioned harshly' - in relation to his arguments at the time (can you guess what they were and why?) - i.e. he was to tell his school friends, later on - that the staff were impressed....one of them had even stated that he would be a 'good lawyer' later on....and what did that member of staff mean by 'that one'?

simply that the school rules stated that any pupil that was late....through the 'school gates'....would be punished with x/y/z...depending upon whether or not they were to do it 'more than once'....the punishments were to accrue - within the rule book, every time, a pupil was to do it....

"so he was a day pupil" replies MI5 ONLINE....yes, obviously so....and he hadn't entered through the school gates, when late.
