    But using your interpretation you'd probably think it's okay for a PhD in Physics on £19k a year a CERN, unlocking the secrets of nature, versus a PhD in mathematics unlocking algorithms for high frequency trading on £190k a year.

    I know which one working for the betterment of all. Do you?
    I think it is fine to pay someone what the market thinks they are worth. The one thing I like about arguing with you is that I get reassurance from realising that I am not the thickest idiot on the planet

        feel your pain, my kids are in as well but the highest yearly fee is £10k upto 11 years old, hence hoping they get into grammar otherwise it's the local academy, because I'm not paying £12k*3*7 = £252k
