Thread Name: Did Robert Peel have a Lancashire accent
Subject: RE: Did Robert Peel have a Lancashire accent
I was 30 years a teacher, Will, ending up for the last 12 as Head of Upper School in an 11-16 comprehensive. Of course children vary ~~ the ones who ask for it and the ones who have the sense not to ~~ I am speaking now of my experience in the sort of school I [& Rhodes Boyson] taught in, having myself attended a good Middlesex Grammar School not a Public School: the Arnold of Rugby tradition to which you advert was not at issue. Can't go into it all again; but would refer you to some correspondence I had about 15-16 May on the 'Old Cat o'Nine {Lord Invader}' thread.
