Generations of boys from Cranbrook School in 's east have endured rival private college students chanting a childish taunt across rugby fields and playgrounds.
'Get a girl, get a girl, get a girl if you can; if you can't get a girl, get a Cranbrook man,' goes one recent version of a decades-old rhyme.
