to think Private schools must be pretentious

[gobsmackedetal]

...otherwise all these smart, sensible people wouldn't send their children to the shit state schools

Why not just make your point on the original thread?

Ours is, we spend positively hours sitting around talking smugly about how much better our children are than the average oiks.

private schools are not only pretentious, they are a complete waste of money.

You get nothing extra for your £££ - apart from drugs, teen pregnancies, anorexia and nervous breakdowns, bad manners...

I know this for a fact cos my best friend's neighbour's dog walker's uncle went to Eton...and he's now in prison serving a triple life sentence.

Eh? Strange thread ...

Only when over-crennellated and bedecked with fascinators.

State schools are shit and private schools are pretentious - best not to educate your kids at all?

I don't understand the OP...

How does one over crenellate?

You can NEVER over crenellate.

Morloth - One doesn't know when to stop with the stony furbelows.

I must also apologise for the appalling addition of an extra 'n' in my first mention of the concrete execrescences.

I used spell checker and took the "d" off, don't think crenellate is a word actually - possibly too many Ls.

And I think you will find that is "apauling", though I have no idea how one applies a paul.
