in fact I would pay good money for it.

One of my great regrets from schooldays is that i can remember other students being given a pants down thrashing which is why I always took a front row desk to be near the action.

By the time I began to misbehave they had replaced the punishment with the cane and six of the best over the palm. I hated it.

(that will totally confuse In The Know.. a loony lefty into discipline )

I had guessed already, about your fetishes, veritas !!
Which (public) school was it ?

My dear veritas - the Beaufort line will ALWAYS be more Regal (in the true sense of the word) than any attachment that you claim !

We were Royal when they were really Royal (before they had to pass over 40-odd immediate candidates until they found one who wasnt a Catholic) !

And long long before we had to scour Europe for distant obsure Germans !

Oh royal plantpots who stank of viking urine and had french accents

I wish they'd stop saying that the Queen is 'much admired down under'. It sounds wrong if your ears are not fully attuned to the peculiar patois of that part of the world.

that would be telling but I only went to a public school for one year (which my 2 older brothers had been to)until my father decided it was a waste of money as both my brothers emerged as silly as they were when went they went in- although he it put in a more delicate fashion.

In The Know- I'm sure the Beaufort line are a fine lot but we've already established that in the recent past of your ancestors, someone got over the fence and sullied the lineage...the result of this dastardly act being you !

what other explanation can there be ?

Yes they are ....

For example, Joan Beaufort was the grand-daughter of Edward III, and great grand-daughter of Edward II, as well as being great grand-parent of Elizabeth I.

Margaret Beaufort was mother of Henry VII and grandmother of Henry VIII.
