David Dimbleby says he's not posh.
This was his family home for much of his childhood.
This was his prep school, near Battle.
He then went to Charterhouse.
And, after language courses in Paris and Perugia, he went to Christ Church, Oxford
and was a member of the Bullingdon Club, editor of Isis magazine and President of the Christ Church JCR.
This is part of his home near Polegate in Sussex; he has a flat in London, and a holiday home near Salcombe.
Of the Dimbleby children, Henry went to Eton and Oxford, Kate went to St Paul's, London and Birmingham, Fred went to Brighton College and Keble, Oxford, and Liza has a first in Russian and History from Oxford, and a Ph.D in Russian thought and literature from the University of London.

Are you working on his "I'm as Welsh as Humphreys" assertion ?
ReplyDeleteThis all sounds like envy,.. our deadliest sin, if you wish what others have then you need to work for it, our unfortunate human tendency is to try and belittle those we envy rather than to do what they did and work for it, the alternative is unhappiness with one’s self and dissatisfaction with one’s life, the American way is to celebrate success and if possible to match it. Am I posh?, no , I was a milkman for .43 years I’m happy with my lot and thus happy in life.
