Not really, I was a day boarder because my family are from the town. Not flown in or despatched
.My ex housemate who just moved out about 2 weeks ago was an Eton boy. I'm not sure if he posts here or not, I never asked him. Plays PC games a lot though. I'll get him to come post here and /threadclosed the affair.

He crashed near his school? Or were you just stalking him a lot?
what school?
He crashed near his family home which is near our school. He lived here all his life. He and his family used to chat with us when we were drink in parkland near his home.
