Apparently he hated Loretto. We also had Alistair Darling along with Norman Lamont. 2 terrible chancellors of the exchequer!

Don't have the alumnus to hand but from memory:

Hugo Blimpton-McChimp -Politician
Quentin Trumpton-Gitt -England Rugger player
Harry Quaffingham-Pant -Editor -Daily Telegraph
The 5th Earl of Skelmersdale

Amongst many others.

Actually Dominic Dale (snooker player) and a man who made the local papers for being caught having sex with a dog are the only famous people from my small Welsh comprehensive school.

Thankfully not, or at least not when I was there in the early 80s. As far as I can recall, there was only one obvious gayer in the whole school.

Amy Williams, Gold Medallist in the Skeleton at the winter Olympics, was in my Sixth Form for some classes.

Roger Bannister, first man to run a mile under 4 minutes was a student.

Adam Campbell (was Jones at School), star of "Date Movie" was in the year above.

Jason Gardner, the sprinter.

Richard Roberts, Nobel Laureate.

There are a few more I think, but those are pretty good ones.
