Hi Simon,

Of course the rule is don't generalise - I went to a State School with talented, dedicated teachers and achieved 9 O levels, 4 A Levels (3 As and a and should have gone for Oxbridge but was being too rebellious at the time (18 year olds should NEVER be allowed to decide their own future). I have friends that attended very exclusive public schools and have difficulty walking and talking at the same time

Fortunately that's why they invented the Guards
