I remember when I went to university meeting public-school people for the first time. It was a bit like meeting an astronaut, or a mass murderer, you knew they existed but had never encountered one. I don't think I'd met anyone who could even reliably be described as middle-class before university. Even though I went to a grammar school where, as late as 1977, some of the teachers wore a gown and mortar board when the mood took them.
One of my brothers also went to the grammar, the other two didn't, they were hived off to the 'seccy modern'. Those two have done much better in life. All of which goes to prove nothing much.
