I hate that you are so spot on nrml :bang:

nrml it seems that being in the right schools etc. isn't just a UK thing. I notice here in Australia and as my friend in the US has said it happens there as well but maybe not as blatantly as in the UK with its long history of ruling classes. I think most countries suffer that even the so called communist ones where every one is equal but some are just more equal than others :poke:

We (French) have a tendency to be too confident with every people who have attended the "right school."

And MANY of those DIDN'T go to what was considered the "right school" at the time!
