Inflated Self-ImportanceAmorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

For many years (certainly, to my knowledge, into the 1990s)......public schools did not require teachers to have obtained a PGCE or to have any relevant teaching experience. A couple of years of TEFL in Zimbabwe gave me possible the worst biology and physics teacher ever to walk the cloisters.
I would have done better if I'd gone to the local comp with my mates rather than gone along with my dad's fantasies of social mobility (they had a higher Oxbridge entrance rate for my age group than my school did) but I was a good little boy who knew no different.
