Oxbridge on a Shoestring remembered by Sir Geoffrey Jackson
'It wasn't at all the Oxbridge of Lord Peter Wimsey or Bertie Wooster... in the 30s it was an essentially political environment ... I think we were, all of us, extremely conscious of social injustice. Inevitably, one of the university wags had released, immediately behind the advancing punts, a procession of chamber pots, each bobbing along with its own tall candle standing in the middle of it, like a flotilla of illuminated ducks ...

'I remember... the sound of broken boots, tied together with bits of string, sometimes with the bare soles of the foot showing through...'
