Interesting, thanks so much! I've heard that about private/public school but I've also seen British people say it the other way around, too. Maybe that was only for the benefit of foreigners.

I also was wondering about that resentment/jealousy piece and was considering making that a focus in a fic.

Do we know since what age Jeeves has been in service? It's canon that he worked at a girls' school when he was younger I think, do we know how young?
