Why is the name so generic though. It actually makes me sleep.
Other than that it seems alright |  |

I understand that this is controversial, but its my best guess
Because that's what they named it. |  |

Possible cos it’s a Manor House and it’s in the countryside? |  |

Personally I think it's more because it's in the countryside and its a Manor House |  |

or maybe its a property that may have once been of significant local importance in a non urban environment? | |

I wonder if that’s why they called it the Manor House Country Hotel then ?
Makes sense now
Thanks for the heads up | |

Seriously concerned this will mean, on subsequent investigations, that McK will turn out to have been privately educated. |  |

Public schoolboys have and continue to be the ruin of this country for the last 120 years. They are in general, born to rule elite class rseholes who are utterly clueless about the real world. They are charming psychopaths who have sent everyone else to fight their wars clean their latrines and pay their bill for many many years. They must be kept away from political or public power/life at all costs and when my revolution comes this will be the first law above all others. I don’t want to close the schools I want to kneecap them. | |

To be fair, a hotel that ensures a good night's sleep isn't such a bad thing...
I know what you mean though. Distinctive looking building. Deserves a better name. Board poll...?
(or should that be Half-Board poll?) |  | | |

Watching that quick-fire question interview with KMcK was the first time I heard him say something I didn't like - when he said the the interviewer re. the hotel, "I'm not sure you can afford it but we'll give you a rate!"
I'm sure it was just a joke and it probably wasn't meant in the way it came across but it did seem a little... smarmy? Lol |  | | |

Nobody's been paying my bills. Or cleaning my latrines. Where do I apply for these services?
Instead my father, a state school teacher, spent all his money on ensuring we got the best education possible (in an era of strict catchment areas when you had no choice which state school your children went to). |  |

Don’t you find it very interesting in hindsight that your dad worked in the state school system but sent you private? If that’s what you’re saying happened. | |

In what way interesting? I wasn't able to go to the school he taught at (which was and is good), due to the rules at the time. The only other option available was private. I don't recall furiously entitled sociopathy being on the curriculum. Bit of extra self-confidence and social presentation, perhaps. And some Classics.
It was also the era of "child-led learning", during which pupils were left to motivate themselves, which often didn't result in much learning at all. My father didn't believe it worked.
In any case, you're conflating the products of places like Eton with the wider public/private school sector.
Edit: Most of them probably gained their sense of entitlement at home, as much as school. Most of my contemporaries were the sons of farmers and middle-class professionals. [Post edited 7 Dec 2022 13:31]

Sorry I’m unclear on this. The only option for your schooling was private? So in other words there was no state option for you *at all*? Not one he didn’t approve of; at all.
I’m not conflating anything with anything. It’s a fact that all our most recent disasters as Prime Minister for instance have been privately educated. Framlingham or Westminster and everything else in between, it’s always the same. The products of these schools go on to be the main wreckers of our once-great society. And get so touchy when this simple fact is pointed out to them. | |

"once-great society."
Could you clarify the time period in which you feel this took place please?
