    Traditionally, the boys at Eton get a full day holiday when an Etonian becomes PM. As they college broke up for summer about a month ago, they won’t now get that.

        Was watching an interview with @AyoCaesar and she had mentioned that all combined there had been 101 years of Etonian rule.

        If Eton wanted to save a few quid on teaching staff, they could also give the lads a day off when an Etonian gets appointed to the board of a FTSE 100 company or the Privy Council

        You in any mood to take on my bar stool theory of conservative decline: That as Ronald Reagan begat Donald Trump, so Margaret Thatcher begat Boris Johnson?

        Given that Jeremy Hunt came second, surely Charterhouse should get a day off. After all they've only ever had one PM and that was back in 1812. Oh well, at least they produced rock star Peter Gabrielhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Prime_Ministers_of_the_United_Kingdom_by_education …

        Wow. Charterhouse has 3 members of Genesis (inc Peter Gabriel but not Phil Collins), pop singer/DJ Jonathan King AND legendary Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant. Eton seems not to have had music class
