I'm very well connected and I went to an Independent School.

I went to a very good school as well.

But how many directorships do you have?

Hello to any old Miltonians out there, a rather embarrassing lack of riches from my old institution.

Rupert Evans, actor
Tom Homer, rugby footballer
Alexander Faludy, child prodigy
Francis Fulford, aristocrat
Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, musician

You know your scraping the barrel when you include Francis Fulford as a notable old boy.

My old school is lacking anyone interesting really but it does have a small catchment area.

Simon Beaufoy (writer of The Full Monty, Slumdog Millionaire etc) is an old boy apparently, Wikipedia lists the following too:

Wikipedia said:

1. Andrew Hodgson, former Bradford Bulls and Salford City Reds rugby league player
2. Rick Holden, former Man City player and present Barnsley FC Assistant Manager
3. Iain Macleod, Conservative MP for Enfield West from 1950–70 and former Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1970
4. Chris Mason, European Correspondent for the BBC[6]
5. Blake Morrison, poet and author
6. Gil North, (real name Geoffrey Horne author of the Sergeant Cluff series between 1960 and 1978.[7]
7. Paul Zenon, comedian and magician

Swedemason also attended but I'm guessing sweary Youtube stuff and comical remixes don't compete with the above.... http://swedemason.com

Emma Bunton went to my primary school in Finchley (St Theresa's). I never did manage to catch her in kiss chase.

Went to play tennis with a friend one day (this was around 1995) and he remarked that he had seen Emma on MTV. He claimed the band she was in looked terrible and we would never hear of them again..well he was half right

Freddie Hunt went to my school, Son of James Hunt. Not famous himself I guess, but car related. I had a fight with him in french - we didn't get on.

H.G. Wells went there also many moons ago, and taught there too if I remember correctly.
