It’s also really mawkish and horrible, I don’t see why people would want or need to know any of this kind of detail. Making it their main headline is just chasing clicks off the back of a tragedy. Fuck this shit.

The rise of Britishcore: 100 experiences that define and unite modern Britons
Forget the pomp and pageantry. As people worldwide are now discovering, the UK was built on crisp sarnies, trips to B&Q and that age-old question: Corrie or EastEnders?
Genuinely the worst, cringiest thing I have ever read. Reads like an alien has watched a boxed set of TOWIE and then been asked to create a list of 'authentic' experiences using drunk AI.
Or what happens when privately educated Oxbridge types try to get down with the plebs.

('Britcore' to me will always refer to the 80s/90s UK rap sub-genre - e.g. Silver Bullet, Hijack, Criminal Minds.)

It's like in harry Potter, many schools do or used to have 'houses', into which pupils were divided - at hogwarts gryffindor, hufflepuff and so on. Lots of places apparently used eg Nelson, drake and so on

Not just posh schools - My primary school (state school) it was the names of local stately home type places - Penshurst, Hever, Chartwell, Leeds, Scotney, Knole. Your house had nothing to do with the form class you were in (there were 6 classes per year)
My state secondary school had various renowned old boys from many centuries ago none of whom anyone would have heard of except perhaps for one who founded a famous university.

Yeah I'm not good at explaining it as I only have a very rudimentary understanding but wiki explains it better.
House system - Wikipedia
The house system is a traditional feature of schools in the United Kingdom. The practice has since spread to Commonwealth countries. The school is divided into units called "houses" and each student is allocated to one house at the moment of enrollment. Houses may compete with one another at sports and maybe in other ways, thus providing a focus for group loyalty.
Historically, the house system has been associated with public schools in England, especially boarding schools, where a "house" referred to a boarding house at the school. In this case, the housemaster or housemistress in charge of the house is in loco parentis to the pupils who live in it, even though the house normally has a separate "private side" in which he or she can live a family life.[1] Such an arrangement still continues in most boarding schools, while in day schools the word house is likely to refer to a grouping of pupils, rather than to a particular building.

Outed yerself there Elpenor. You posho.
In my mind it is mostly related to public schools so that's the way it is staying.
