can british public schools really...

It's a sixth form so it's a bit different, they have funding from the government. When I was at college one of my friends who studied Politics went to Belgium for four days to see government buildings and on my course we went on tons of trips to London and various theatres.

The history students on the show probably paid for some of it and had funding for the rest of it seeing as it was an educational trip.

Yeah. When I was in HS, they took us to France and then Italy another year. They have school trips a couple of times a year, and I went to a normal state school.

That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, bingo!
