Things move on. Edited by Mapletree (09 Apr 2020 5.16pm) That probaly doesn't surprise many posters on here

I just don't know why you have to keep going back around a road we have already travelled Yes, he joined Reigate Grammar when it was a Grammar School and therefore was State funded. When he was there it changed to Independent status. Why you have to repeatedly state he went to what is now an Independent School - without any acknowledgement of the history about which we have already written - is beyond me. I can only assume you haven't been keeping up or you think that in some way it gives you political credibility and loses him credibility. Neither would be correct.

I can only assume you haven't been keeping up or you think that in some way it gives you political credibility and loses him credibility. Neither would be correct. The only reason I have revisited this is because you seemed to suggest that I said he joined when it was Independent, which as far as I am aware I did not. If I cannot have an opinion that he is more a Tory than some tories, so be it. I am not in the slightest interested in gaining political credibility, why would I? Not that interested in politics tbf but IMO you can come across as patronising ( or amusing depending on your perspective), taking “delight” in correcting posters spelling/grammar which I consider to be unnecessary

It was famous for having a great goalkeeping kid play for them, all the great clubs were after him, bolton wanderers, wolverhampton wanderers and preston north end, about 40 odd years ago i think,,,alas, he didnt know about it and signed up for teacher training college!

If parallel universities exist maybe somewhere I became something akin to the next Burridge... Yeah, maybe this is the one s***e universe where the pillock eventually ended up choosing teaching.
