Is that class though or is that wealth? If people are saying that JRM can't escape his grandparents' class despite the uplift and wealth his father achieved.
I don't really have much opinion on it myself, it just seems the discussion isn't about wealth and the opportunities public school brings but something else. At what point can you become upper class - how many generations of Eton-goers does it take? Or is it never, until you marry in?
Also this thread has become a weird fetish around JRM, you lot know far too much about him.
