It is too good a claim to be untrue.
Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

It's not just sexism behind these baseless speculations - the same ignoramuses have also done the same kind of speculating about Prince Harry. They see blonde or red hair and immediately come to erroneous conclusions. Cos they're 'lookist' idiots who can't resist drawing their own ignorant and stupid conclusions. These are the same kind of people who get black female MPs confused.

I went to a secondary modern turned comprehensive. It had houses. Mine was Holland. No clue what the others were called. No one took any notice, no one gave a shit about houses.

Aye, same with ours. It was probably just a way to group us for boring admin purposes. There might have been a bit of rivalry between the sporty types but I can’t remember it being that much of a deal

Aye, I just have a bee in my bonnet about this kind of shit, being a ginger myself and also growing up with a younger brother who is tall, black and athletic and therefore the spit of <insert any famous black sportsman here>

Dunno. Maybe it was Pies or Syd. I remember that one day they told us we're all in houses now. Everyone was "what the fuck are these houses about?" I was just told I was in Holland and that was it. Nothing ever came of it though.Was another one of them called Barrett?

He's either a spoof or is deep cover & hard at work ensuring the revolution is imminent.

I've forgotten hundreds of things but will always remember our school houses of Davy, Fleming, Jenner, Newton. And that was a state primary school built at the same time as the council estate it served so not posh at all!
for a "shit" article it's sure done well to prompt 3 pages of chat here.
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?www.theguardian.com
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.
In other news, GMG are apparently maybe selling The Observer.
Guardian parent company in talks over potential sale of Observer
Guardian Media Group announces it is in negotiations with Tortoise Media over world’s oldest Sunday newspaper
Back when Rushbridger was editor he really wanted to make the Guardian a full 7 days per week operation, ditch the separate Observer editorial and reduce that to at most a brand name for a insert supplement. But met too much opposition. Selling off the Observer probably the next best thing. The shared website does obscure responsibility. And the Guardian's going all in on 'digital first' anyway so keeping the Observer name around at all is just holding them back.

I often forget The Observer is still a thing as I only read online. Can’t recall if Observer content is flagged as such - think it all appears to be Guardian content.

Most of the 3 pages was a bunch of poshos haranguing a poor ignorant Irishman about how PFWC their schools were.

it is tagged next to the by-line. on the website anyway I haven't checked the apps.
blink and you'll miss it.
but I have noticed that's not on the crosswords.
there's even a homepage for just Observer content, but I've no idea how anyone would find that. it doesn't appear to be linked from the Guardian home page at all or advertised anywhere.
Observer | The Guardian redirects you to Observer | The Guardian

I don't. When someone tries to get a High Court injunction preventing newspapers from reporting such things, loads people are involved, solicitors, judges, courts, secretaries, finance team, journalists with good tip-offs, and it's not easy to get written evidence, you just rely on word of mouth and the odd text message.
The same applies to, say the eight London houses that the aforementioned has just bought - with cash / interest free loans from his extensive network of supporters.

My daughter's primary school only had one class a year. It also had houses. As did her secondary school.
In east London, right near Spitfire's house, the posh bastard

So basically we have established that all English people think they are posh because they have houses in their schools.
Which is why you haven't had a proper revolution yet, as you all think you're upper class therefore above all that proletarian nastiness.
Interesting.
"Let them have houses."

Could have Companies House in Room 1, Business techno Room 2.
