Guest Dave, you will find that Terrichocolates has no regard for educational status. Possibly because he has little education to speak of himself. A bit like his hero in that regard to quote Mead again:
"Haig was never intent on academic prowess at Oxford, he always cherished the deepest contempt for examination as a test of ability, possibly because he did not shine at such tests. As someone whose relationship with books was generally adversarial rather than amiable Haig embarked on one of least strenuous routes up the academic mountain"
