Am mildly intrigued how that says anything about me at all? Merely an observational statement based on written fact. Perhaps I shall leave out the jocular opinion next time:) As I said before, Happy Skiing!
A bad day on the slopes is better than a good day in the office !

It's interesting the way people interprete things differently.
When I read the title of the thread I assumed that PostGrads was shorthand for postgraduate students,i.e. studying for a Masters or PhD. and therefore probably very short of cash. I certainly didn't think it meant ONLY skiers who had a degree could join them on their holiday! I thought it just described them, and their likely life-style in the apartment so that people could see if they thought they'd be compatible with them.
I mean, if I was advertising for a fourth person, I might say something like 'middle-aged female skier who goes to sleep at 10 p.m. requires fourth female to share apartment and bills'. And this wouldn't mean that only other middle-aged women who go to sleep at 10 p.m. would be welcome. It would mean that I would like a female who could keep quiet after 10 p.m. (like go out and come back in very quietly).
Tropicana,
Have they found anyone yet? I hope they have a great holiday, even if they do have to pay a bit more than they were hoping to :D

I need from someone out there an explanation as to:
1. How educational standards affect ski and accommodation sharing compatibility.
2. Why, no matter how much I read the thread title, it still says to me that anyone without a Post Graduate education would be considered unsuitable, because they are uneducated.
Yours Happily Uneducated (apparently) though I do have a Post Grad Diploma from a real University :D
