    Actually, no not fine. Going back to my original ironic comment (remember irony?) it was Cambridge High School and Harrow Tech I attended, among my fourteen schools since my family were in the Forces and I got around a bit. I had four grammar schools (hint - don't change curriculum in the 5th form) and I always maintain I got an education and four decent science A levels despite school, not because of it. On the other hand, I've been reading since I was three, so perhaps some of it has stuck - I'm still a black belt at Trivial Pursuit (and agreed, that is not about intelligence, merely rote learning)

    So if you're sufficiently smart to hold yourself up as a comparator for good schooling, Mr Troll, you may have worked out that it's not clever to make unfounded assumptions.
    I must admit I am struggling a bit to see what your point is

    If your family were in the forces & moved around then surely you would have taken advantage of the assisted place scheme and gone (boarded?) to a Private School

    Are you saying that the 14 schools including Grammar included Comprehensives, and that in your opinion the Comprehensives were the equivalent of the Grammar schools?

    Or are you just suffering the effects of last-word-itus ?

    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think
