random question for UK friends....

[rivendellrose]

Speaking in a purely stereotypical sense, suppose you met a very pretty young woman (mid- to late-twenties) from a wealthy family (ie, wouldn't ever anticipate needing to work for a living)... if someone asked you to guess what she studied at university, what would your guess be?

I know, completely insane. But there's a method to my madness. Sort of.

Suggestions from US- or other-centric friends would not be amiss... I'm just specifically looking for UK-specific expectations. ;)

Also, has anybody here been to Versailles? And perhaps had occasion to notice what kind of security they have there? I promise I'm not considering breaking in... but I've got some characters who might. *g*

I went to Versailles back in 2000. The place was swarming with tourists. I don't remember any obvious security apart from a few people standing around, but the tourists were generally herded through a few specific areas on tours and such. Because getting in at all is so easy, were I needing to gain access to a restricted section of the palace I'd probably join a tour and look for an opportunity to slip away - possibly enlisting an accomplice to generate a distraction.

Hmmm.... sounds about like I expected. I wonder how they run security at night... I can get my characters into the building without any trouble, but if there's a night guard who's likely to wander through all the rooms they'll have to... be quick about things. ;)

Thanks for your help!
