I went to a "rich kids" school in Newcastle and loved it, meanwhile one of my friends went to the local comp and got beaten up so badly that he now has problems with his vision.

Then again this was long after the time of grammar schools, so maybe things have changed since you went?

As a side note my parents were and are not rich, I got in on the assisted place scheme

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_Places_Scheme

which is why I have and will always vote conservative.

I was, left in 2004 I think.

RGS scared the hell out of 11-year old me :/

EDIT: and to be fair to you it did seem like most of the children there were twunts.
