New school for Rickmansworth to open in September 2013 (From Watford Observer)

• "I'm afraid I find motor sport unutterably boring and tedious (that will probably bring an avalanche down upon my head!). However, Finland is - or was once upon a time - known for producing outstanding runners like Paavo Nurmi and Lasse Viren and they were often referred to by the athletics writers as "Flying Finns". I don't think they've had the same success in recent years.
  
  As for education, it seems to me the "rich" (however, you define that term and it means many different things to many people) do in fact pay twice over for their children's education because some of their taxes go to pay the overall education bill and then they pay on top for their children to be privately educated - including, of course, many of your beloved socialist politicians who send their kids to private schools. Hypocrisy Rules, OK!
  
  How do you define "the rich", in fact? That always seems to me to be an envious, spiteful term employed by the crackpot Left. Many middle class people who certainly wouldn't be called rich in my book struggle and scrimp and save to send their children to private schools because they despair of the state system. Would you describe them as rich?
  
  My wife had to be privately educated, even though her parents were just ordinary working class newsagents in Coventry. Why? Because many of the schools had been destroyed by Hitler's Luftwaffe! Would you call her rich?"
