what REALLY PO'd me off was when I tried to go to university, only course they could offer me was £15,000 in St Andrews, and most I could get was maybe £3000 grant...may as well have asked for £15 million, back then, sigh. (you remember what the '80s were like in industrial towns, urf)
Crazy how this country wastes its talent.

When I was 17-18 I wanted to take the courses offered by Alias Research (Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alias_Systems_Corporation) but the cost was $25,000 per year (1986-1987) for tuition, and it was a 3 year course, I had no way to raise that kind of money, if I could have afforded it, I could have potentially be working at Pixar or something. :)  $25,000 at that time would be like $40,000+ now.
