    Good lad.

    To be honest, there's not a lot of difference between Cundy Cross and Eton, he'll be right at home.

    I wouldn't want a child of mine to go to that 2hat factory. Can you imagine what the other kids there will do to him? Doesn't bear thinking about.

    I was thinking the same. I wouldn't spend c.£60k on mine going there, just to have him get targeted by the Bullingdon thugs. I'd have to spend another grand or so on a good Muay Thai sensei.
