Are you kidding?!? Of course not! That'd bring down modern society as we know it! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Actually, while I think of it, another good book on public school life is Stephen Fry's "The Liar". But thats pretty explicit, to the point of being quite disturbing in places. I once asked a guy from Charterhouse school whether anything from the book was actually true to life, he told me that it was: "more of a Winchester thing.", which was so typical as a response that I couldn't help laughing...
