What do you class as well educated ?

First 3 might be relevant - not sure about the last 2.

Orioles

Don't recognise any of the list as 'necessary' - the may apply but are not essential.

So what is then .. that was the Actual Question

someone who has had a good education

Hard to define ainnit. A broad general knowledge together with some specialism maybe?

Oxford or Cambridge degree.

Nope - not necessary.

surely there are many well educated people that've never been to top Uni's

most people i knew that went on to Uni weren't actually that smart .. so i take it brains are an underlying factor

Somwun who kan spel proply.

^ Bliar's legarsea ^

Sum body oo kan do maffs, right inger-lish and speak proper, like wot I does.

Listening the the whole of Rossini's William Tell Overture, without once thinking of the Lone Ranger.

Atheism

someone who can put there trousers on the right way round

i think only point 3 is a must but many of the others are usually by products of being well educated

3

1= well spoken
3= well read
4= rich

SOMEONE WHO CAN DO THEIR 7 TIMES TABLE WITHOUT USEING A CALCULATOR

proper degree from a proper university
anything under 20 hours a week study doesn't count
ex-polys don't count

1Well read
2Well spoken
3Understanding of things.

usually politically moderate --extremes of left and right come from people who are not experienced of life to understand others points of view

usually polite and well mannered

Someone who went to a world class uni, like, say, Nottingham Trent...and takes the Timeform annuals every year...they must have a working knowledge of pumps - obviously - and perhaps gear-boxes too.

Must have sh@gged about 10,000 women, like the Belgian author George Simenon...must be au fait with top artists like Emin and Hirst...must speak at least two languages and must have read Novalis in the original.

Must be good at backgammon or Subbuteo.

SOMEONE WHO CAN WRITE THEIR OWN BETTING SLIP OUT

Someone who is like Velasquez without being like Orioles.

Or someone that honestly enjoyed "Ulysses".

someone who does not believe in god or gods

nobcheese ^^

Thats me then!
