They've also got grammar schools in Birmingham, one of which I attended for a top flight, free education courtesy of the tax payer.

Surely, if you are uni' educated - like most of us - you can just get the slipper out and if they don't learn at home, use it - that's how we were taught and we're doing okay ...

AIN'T LIFE GREAT ...

You've also got High Wycombe

. . . and quite frankly you can keep it! A more wretched place you'll have to travel a long way to find (well, maybe to Slough, and the first person to mention 'friendly bombs' can go to tht back of the class).

15K for a decent education? It's costing me almost 12k a year just to keep the nipper in nursery, FFS.

Your gonna love this then, my missus will receive equivalant of £900 pcm for being an " At home mother " and the boy will receive equivalant of 300 pcm for being cared for at home, plus free kinder garden and childcare if she wants it, this applies to them both regardless that I'll be earning equivalant of 75k per year.

Here here Bagpuss

I remember at Uni. some students from good schools really went off the rails, and some of the best students were the ones who'd moved up from their apprenticeship/technician training, probably having been to a not so good school.
