    *I was a model student in Primary school so got through on academic merit. Turned out to be a phase.
    Lol. Cue the humblebrags.

      My school took us to Alton Towers. Strict rules about no alcohol; wouldn't want any of the kids coming back legless.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        I thought the second line made it clear that academic excellence was only temporary. I got kicked out of Sixth Form if it makes you feel better?

          £450 a head, do you have to pay to throw people to the lions now ?
          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

            They do. At least the ones I know.

                We didn't used to have school trips.

                It was thought of as being unfair on those who couldn't afford it.

                  ....

                  Parents take kid on holiday in school time = fined and criminal record.

                  School organises med cruise, skiing trips etc in school time and it's all ok.

                    Pardon my rudeness, I just thought you came up with a near-perfect humblebrag.

                      You knew this was coming before you "came" in your lady.

                      Should have gone to .... never mind.
