Out of those 22 members: at least 4 have been educated (full or in part) privately.
That' represents 18.8% - ie: almost a fifth of the members on this thread have received private schooling - without knowing Chuck's background - all others have stated that they do not come from rich / well off /wealthy families.
I happen to be aware of at least 4 other members (and I don't mean those who never post: I mean regular active posters, who have been educated privately and are not 'rolling in it').
Kinda blows the myth that many have on here that private education is only for the elite few and the very rich in our society ......... hard to argue with the figures.

I'm not very rich
My two half-sisters lost their father a long time ago and my parents are separated, so my mum had only herself to provide us with everything we needed and she wanted to give us the best she could possibly give and in order to do so she had to work really really
really hard to be able to afford private education for us all and I'm not only talking about private schools but language courses and exchange programs as well.
My sisters and I are not stuck up, we dont look down on anyone who went to public school, we dont live in a bubble nor we feel superior to anyone regardless of their background.
