The Cherwell is on occasion very nearly deep enough to get away with jumping. On this occasion it was much less nearly so, apparently. It's been going on for many years; it certainly used to happen when I was in Oxford (at school) in the late 70s/early 80s.

As for "one or two sherries", back then May Morning wasn't a bank holiday, and watching my teachers trying to make it through the day with appalling hangovers was entertaining enough. Several of the pupils at my school ended up having their stomachs pumped on occasion... I imagine the students were probably more practiced, but just as drunk.

And for what it's worth, I knew quite a number of Magdalen choristers, and "angels" is not a word I'd have chosen to describe them, despite any passing appearances :-)
