Back in the day finishing school consisted of a few illicit cans of lager and a different kind of finger buffet behind the bike sheds from memory.

We've had some sort of event going here for longer than it was a "Prom" I remember my older sister going to hers. The escalation of costs and general ridiculousness involved has got a bit stupid now though, my brother in law went to his a couple of years and it was just mental, I dropped him off at it and there were limos everywhere, a horse drawn carriage, the money spent on it was mind boggling.

Renton 24865 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Proms in any form didn't exist in England in any form before the 1990s. What a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 38636 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 It's a complete load of bollocks, mind. We had school discos the odd year but nothing like this now. I blame high school musical and all the American films. Also blame businesses stirring it up to make a killing. Give it a few more years and they'll be selling kevlar jackets to some, heavy machine guns to others for that unique 'high school USA' experience.

I give the Guardian 2 days before there's an opinion piece explaining to her about how she has internalised misogyny and that it's different when women objectify men because of the power dynamics in play.
