I think any northerner living down here would agree with everything they've found. I'm a video editor mainly cutting commercials and the vast majority of people I work with are public school educated, all of them assume you're thick as pig shit when they first meet you.
The film and advertising agency world is a great example of class divide, with producers and bullshit client servicing rolls filed with posh public school types and the plebs in the technical positions.

That's the same for lots of areas. We always used to categorise it into 3; public school, Essex, and Eurotrash. (financial services).
The idea being for client sales teams you need someone from each to relate to all the various clients you might have.

Hello 👋 heading back in to technical role soon hopefully. Been away from post production for a while but will be up grading my plep status (fingers crossed) and proud of it ✊️
