  • An education

    Nice movie, esp. the part the father knocked & placed
    a cup of tea and a few biscuits at her door.

    but alas it's a BBC movie....

    education

    Jenny: (Look at you!) What's the point of having an Oxford English degree (for a women in 1960)?
    Headmistress: It's not just teaching! There's also .... the civil service.
