New competition law baffles retired majors

In the final act of the hilarious school fee fixing scandal, the OFT has ruled that 50 independent schools may have broken competition law by telling each other what they were going to charge parents.

This sort of information exchange, as you might imagine, is just slightly illegal. If the bursar at my school, the amiable but non-whizz-kid Major Dixon (retd) is anything to go by, it was just good chaps keeping each other informed (in flagrant breach of the law).
