'DBS was not about good exam results'

It felt the strangest thing attending not so long ago the 50th anniversary of the year I graduated from Diocesan Boys School.

I recognised some contemporaries immediately, though most them are three times the size they were when we were young. We shook hands and some of us had to ask who the other was.

But there was no problem talking about the old days and it therefore felt very natural.

I'm not an emotional person as such but I do think the friends you make at secondary school continue to be much better friends than those you meet in your working life.

When you make a friend in secondary school there's no conflict of interest whereas in your working life there's competition.

Going to DBS was not about getting good exam results so that made competition less keen.
