Just to start the ball rolling from the other side of the pond: After starting off in local primary schools,I was convent educated from the age of 7 (which explains a lot). I attended St. Anne's RC in Buxton, Derbyshire, and then 2 all-girls senior schools: Loreto College for Girls in Manchester, and Loreto Grammar School (ex St. Catherine's) in Nottingham. Then at 18 I escaped and did a foundation course at Derby Art College (now part of Derby University) and went on to the LCP (London College of Printing) where I studied graphic design in the good ol' days before computers. Needless to say, I do not use my qualification these days - I am of the old "cut and paste by hand with cow gum" brigade!

ps-I have 2 badges which read "the nuns made me dress like this" and "I survived a convent school". Pity I didn't have them 12 years ago when we had a reunion at my Nottingham school.
