Swinesend: Britain's Greatest Public School
"A must for every smart loo"
Tatler
Swinesend, hallowed public school and home to all kinds of boys (and now girls), has long gone unrecognised as Britain's greatest educational institution. But thanks to this frank guide, those not lucky enough to have attended this extraordinarily preserved school can now experience life as a Swinesian for themselves.
The reader will quickly appreciate that there is much more to a Swinesend education than its academic record (which is, quite literally, in a league of its own). From its exclusive self-abuse society and the Combined Cadet Force Marching band (described as 'a musical form of shok and awe'), to its sporting activities like Cage Fighting and traditions such as 'Toasting the Simpletons', Swinesend uniquely offers a well-rounded schooling in the skills tht modernity seems to have overlooked.
With this indispensible handbook, adults and children everywhere can feel like Old Swinesians - providing them with an education they will find hard to forget.
- For all those who loved Molvania and Crap Towns, this is How to be Topp for the 21st century
- The ideal gift for anyone who went to a public school (and wished they hadn't), or those who are ever grateful that they didn't go to public school.
- Lavishly and hilariously illustrated
- Includes: how to attack a tree and your very own pull-out school tie. Just colour it in.
