My parents moved to Sutton purely so that me bruv and I could attend a decent Grammar school.

We both passed our 11+ and both went to Sutton Grammar School for boys. School itself was - for me - pretty boring and I was "average" whereas my brother was nearer the top end of the results. He's thick as mince, mind.

I had the odd bit of bullying, but my dad taught me some Ju-jitsu and that put an end to that. On more than one occasion, I had to deal with the boys who were picking on my (older) brother. We both stayed on and did A-levels, but neither of us went to uni - straight into work, my brother in insurance and me in finance. And now I chuck bags around!

Seriously- Well done to you Nick. AE and FE helped so many people who weren't considered "academic". I passed 11+, went to a boys grammar school, wasn't particular bright and didn't go to uni. But I learnt a lot from the extra curricular stuff thatb would nit be possible now. On balance it was OK.
Got a "steady" job after doing an HND, joined a rock'n roll band a few years later and have never looked back !
