Why does God's Own Republic Of Yorkshire produce so many Medal Winners?

[BrilloPad]

Is it because there are too many public schools in Yorkshire?

[Ignis Fatuus]

Does that leave them short so they have to come cap in hand back to London to pay for other stuff?

The rest of the UK does so I can't see Scotland being any different.

No it doesn't. All they want is their own money.

Rather ask what England spends its money on instead of free university education. But that's a choice for the English: if you want free university education, elect a government that will implement it.

Eh? When have I ever seriously subscribed to the genetic superiority theory?
I think it's because the lazy twats don't have any jobs allowing them to take t'lottery cash for training in their vast spare time, innit?

Those who have attended public school are the elite and have better genes.
