Born 1962 now aged 62 and led many years thinking that the Answer was 42. If you're currently 62 born in 1962 then you might have an idea about what I'm posting about.
AND THEN!! da ta di tah I realized on the back of another thread concerning the education of our PM that he too is aged 62 born in 1962. And, concerning his education, not only did the PM pass his 11+ and be one of the 90 boys in a very large catchment area to get in to Reigate Grammar School he stayed through the very tumultuous disintegration of the Grammar Schools which turned Reigate Grammar into a fee-paying Independent School.
I have never crossed paths with Keir although I'm a 62 and who was educated at the Reigate County School for Girls, the other 'grammar school' wiped out of being at the same time.
Just to clarify, Keir wasn't privately educated. 1962 a great vintage.
