Brian Sewell - A deprived upbringing (17/90)

Heaven bless your mother Mr. Sewell, she sounds wonderful.

I like Sewell but he hadn't a clue what it was like to be deprived.

[@lkgreenwell]

It certainly sounds like he felt himself to be hard-done by, schoolwise. Robert Morley once expressed an intention to find a school for his son “like a good hotel”. I’m not too sure that that would be such a good idea

You can be schooled from home; and nothing can be done about it. The private schools he mentions are exclusive; especially Haberdashers. The fact he did not get any form of schooling until 11 lies in the fault of the parents. Again, a stepdad comes in to view. I think Brian Sewelll was rebelling against his stepfather, and being separated from a doting mother.... Not knowing Arithmetic until you are 11 years old; for goodness sake...

Read the phone book with the right? Kind of accent - And they'll believe you're intelligent.
