I think Peter Cook made an intererting joke/comment. This isn't refferring to Heath..he went to a grammar

When asked about his school days.

"What did you mostly do at boarding school?"

Cook replied.."Spent much of my time avoiding being buggered".

Its not really a good start in life for a lot of people is it?..even allowing for PC's humour..then again..would that sort of joke even be made about anything else bar public school... is that how we would want to see our schooldays?..it certainly isn't for me...maybe schooling in the poorer sector does have advantages. Not as higher standard of education possibly as in private domain but at least the old ring piece stays intact.
