I went to Harrow, then Balliol College. I agree you are probably fucked.

Why is it so easy to empathise with 1930s British politicians and their later lives? Chamberlain's last 5 years get me every time.

I went to a grammar school then King's College Cambridge.

More than 10% of the best UK high-flyers were educated at a handful of prestigious private schools, new research suggests. It found that 10 elite fee-paying schools produced 12% of the leading high-flyers examined for the study.

Eton College - the former school of David Cameron, Boris Johnson, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry - educated 330 high-flyers, a total of 4% of the UK's elite, the study says. Among other former Eton pupils are Olympic gold medallist Sir Matthew Pinsent and actors Hugh Laurie and Dominic West.

Alongside Eton, the other nine top private schools, collectively teaching 12% of those whose education backgrounds were examined, are Winchester College, Charterhouse School, Rugby School, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg's old school Westminster, Marlborough College, Dulwich College, Harrow School, St Paul's Boys' School, where Chancellor George Osborne was educated, and Wellington College.

Why would you envy Anthony Eden? His life went to pure hell.

I went to a couple of prestigious private schools (not quite Eton or Harrow but very good) then spilled spaghetti out of all orifices in my interview for Christs, Cambridge. Still, met some nice folks up there. Look forward to starting my second choice. At the very least it'll be less stressful.

What's your second choice?
