Yes I do indeed. He seemed to really despise the upper classes, despite being as posh as you could imagine.I've been to Stephen Hawking's "favourite" Chinese restaurant in Cambridge, was "OK", but nowhere as good as the one as the other Chinese one down the road, on a corner diagonally opposite some playing fields, which was excellent - I find that there is a lot of trading on former glories in these Oxbridge places
The Simon Raven novels ( @IdleRich will know.. ) are especially hilarious when dissecting the Cambridge culture...
More interesting to me than who went to Oxbridge is which of us went to public (that's private if you're American) schools. That sounds counter-intuitive in that you can't choose which school you go to (unless you're very precocious) but they get you at such a young age. I think my parents would have liked to send me to public school but sadly(!) they couldn't afford it, when it was my brother's turn apparently they could but, contrary to what I said above come to think of it, he told them to fuck off, by the time of my second brother I guess they had given up on the idea entirely.
