An amusing addendum to the whole Wayne Rooney Escort Scandal (*the latest one, dd Sept '10) is the observation that the woman involved was a (privately) Convent-educated schoolgirl.
Much has been made of the middle-class background blah blah, and of course the fact of her Catholic religion may be simply incidental or indeed just a numbers game given the high percentage of UK population listed as 'Catholic'....but I had to laugh.
As one privately educated ex-Convent schoolgirl to another, it's not altogether surprising - though what I find more shocking was the poor grammar and spelling of her Facebook profile (*edukashun ain't all it's cracked up to be) as well as the clear breach of the code of omerta "discretion is the greater part of valour". Tut tut, indeed.
Certainly, for my own part I led a totally cloistered convent school-life, concentrating on nothing but my Loebs and the history section of Foyles (happy days -). That said, two days after my last A Level I was in Israel and skinny-dipping off the coast at Tel Aviv ...oh yeah, enjoying my first kiss and making up rapidly for lost time.
So, if anything, the (latest...) Wayne Rooney debacle just goes to show that you never know what goes on in a couple's marriage or relationship. As I said, that couple you know - the one leading the perfect life - they're probably not getting deep down and dirty either.
