The problem is NOT that you went to a college in Cambridge which is not part of Cambridge University. The problem, in my opinion, is that you quite deliberately gave the wrong impression. You stated that you had a geography degree from Cambridge. Any reasonable person reading that claim would take it to mean you had a degree in Geography from the University of Cambridge. It turns out that, in actual fact, geography was only one of the subjects in a degree of a more "general" nature, and your degree, although issued by Anglia University, which has campuses in both Chelmsford and Cambridge, is not from the University of Cambridge. The problem, so far as I'm concerned, is NOT the relative merits of two academic institutions. The problem is that YOU gave a mistaken impression because YOU believed "a geography degree from Cambridge" would sound more impressive. Furthermore, when you realised that some of us had taken your statement to mean you claimed a degree in geography fom the University of Cambridge, you did NOT , to begin with at any rate, correct me (for instance) about that. It was only considerably later that the truth was virtually dragged out of you. Now, there is no requirement on anybody here on this Our Scotland forum to give out details about themselves. If folk want to keep quiet about their education etc, they do have that choice. But you quite voluntarily gave out information which turned out to be misleading. That's the problem.

I couldn't believe it when I saw a thread with the word anarchism in the title as it is something that I have strong feelings for.
Unfortunately though, this thread has degenerated into the debate about one individual's eduaction, or lack of, depending on your viewpoint, therefore it is locked.
