I was at primary school in the 80s, and that was pretty much standard practice. If you forgot your PE kit, you did it in your undies. Boys and girls.

At my first primary school, when we were in first-year infants (and possibly second-year too), we always did PE in our underwear. Again the same for both boys and girls. No way would they get away with doing that nowadays

I saw different version of same thing US in 70s. I think times were far more relaxedthan now.

We were issued gym shorts and we did not were school briefs under them. You could go shirtless. It was optional for calethenics and none for swimming. I was surprised boys opted not to wear them.

13th May 1988

I know exactly what day it was. The day before my eighth birthday.

The only time I ever forgot to take my kit to school so I had to do a 45 minute PE lesson in just my briefs, much to the amusement of 27 other kids.
