It’s not every day you learn something new about your life, especially under the heading of educational qualifications. But I had that strange experience recently when reading about someone who was “a graduate of the London School of Journalism”. So I bought a £75 postal order – the suspiciously modest fee for such a prestigious-sounding institution – and posted it off to 19 Hertford Street, London. Among the many technologies that were unimaginable when I was posting exercises to London was Google. It’s a stately building, I’m glad to see, but the school of journalism has long since moved out.
