I think that this appears to show that the Scots still have an education system that is fit for purpose. All the other areas seem to comprise of the better University cities and their hinterlands. Of course it is also true that the large urban conurbations have large universities within their environs, so there may be more than one correlation here, and determining the respective influences of any or all of those correlations becomes impossible in any system of more than three elements. But Chaos theory aside, we can return to the actual chaos of our present predicament and weep.
Freude schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysian and all that, what! Gods, foreign languages; this is the real reason we Brits hate everyone else with their clever-clever funny languages and all that. Why can't they just speak English like ordinary people? Of course for those of us who had to learn Latin at school it is a different matter; as long as the rest of you oiks tug your forelock when speaking to us things will go just fine.
Nurse, I've come over all old-school. Bring me some peasants to knout. I feel a return of my feudal privileges apparent... well either that or I'm younger than my years. As long as I'm the seigneur the droits will no doubt fall into place.
