That is so true, they build their contacts for life. They are educated to believe they are the elite and it shows, better social skills etc. Went to Charterhouse recently to watch a kids football match and the sports facilities are amazing.
As HGB says whatver political party they are all the same clique.

It's still a case of who you know not what, they will always have the advantage over the rest of us, as it's a closed club!

Cman, that's one of the funniest things I've ever read. Perhaps you're like me and don't use smilies.
The birth rate in Andalucia is diabolical, it seems the Spanish men are firing blanks. Maybe the Spanish doctors and lawyers should get hold of a few British labourers to boost the population if they're unable to do so themselves.
On a serious note, and it's hard to be serious, the Andalucian population is famed within Spain for its backwardness. Sorry, you're well over the top on this one.

As for "the Andalucian population is famed within Spain for its backwardness", well it is, but this is racism basically
The birth rate in Spain is so low because it is hard for people in their 20s to make themselves independent. it is higher in the UK mainly due to the generous wellfare system. The birth rate among graduates in the UK is just as low as in Spain

As someone in my early 30s I dont have a single friend from London who has children yet despite several being married. They are all uni grads with good careers.
However, my school friends from my home town who didnt go to uni already have lots of children, almost all of them. Some started at 16!
