It is that time of year again – school prom season. Normally, it would be the time hardworking students enjoy glamorous evenings to mark the end of their exams. From beautiful gowns to smart suits, and luxury cars to more unusual modes of transport such as double-decker buses, youngsters across the county let loose and celebrate in style. Gone are the days of the leavers’ ball or leavers’ disco – the poorer English cousin to the prom. Just like Halloween years before, proms made the trip from across the pond and now the events are often lavish affairs with students splashing the cash on couture outfits and luxury transportation.
