England can be a chilly place, especially on a drizzy day, and there are normally a lot of them. Virtually every English schoolboy wore sweaters to school, except during the warm summer months. Here there were no school rules. Unlike other school uniform garments, the children could decide whether to wear their jumpers and when. O\Perhaps some schools had riles about the jumper, but we did not notice them at schools we visited. Schools did not used to be as well heated as they are today .Here we do not only see the children wearing jumpers when they go outside, but commonly wearing their jumpers inside during classes or in the dormitories or other school buildings. Boys commonly kept their jumpers on all day long, in part because the schools discouraged them from leavong their sweaters around the school grounds.
