you can't brag about your "prestigious" school while at Cambridge.

Which nobody is. I have zero connection with Eton.

Again I didn't say you have any connection with it, you gotta stop taking hints 😂
There was some talk about people getting impressed by eton/posh students' prestigious background and I was just talking about that

Maybe someone should write a "4 Cambridge Students" sketch where they all boast about how sh1t their schooling and educational background was?

It's almost as old as Cambridge. It has provided more Prime Ministers than Cambridge. Their rowing facility was a venue for the 2012 Olympics. They basically invented organised football.

It's still pretty important in the fabric of English society. Whether that's a good thing or not is an entirely different discussion.

I presumed the comment was the ironic questioning of the use of "lbr" and "Eton" in the same sentence...

And today's fact for the day is: Cambridge Blue is basically Eton Blue.

And a follow-up fact: it's Eton College :smile:

Ah, ok, my mistake!

Could totally use that blue as like...Pavlov's Dog style trick to pull. Just wear an outfit of just that blue and all the girls would think they're rich and prestigious!
