Al Murray says his old school has not invited him back after he gave a speech telling pupils exam results were \u201cnot that important\u201d.<\/p>\n
The stand-up, 55, had been asked to give advice to kids at Bedford School but teachers were less than impressed with his words of wisdom. Al, best-known for his Pub Landlord character, said: \u201cI started off by saying, \u2018Here\u2019s the good news \u2013 don\u2019t worry about your A-levels, they\u2019re really not that important\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe headmaster got up and said, \u2018Well actually they do really matter\u2019. The school never asked me back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to say: \u2018You might be stressing out about exams now, but one day, they\u2019ll be five years ago, then 10 years ago.\u201d Al reckons attending a boys\u2019 boarding school shaped his comedy career.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cYou\u2019re one person at home and another person at school. \u201cHaving two personas influenced my comedy, creating a character.\u201d<\/p>\n
Al was taught at an all-boys boarding school which he says proved useful when he began his comedy career. But he doesn\u2019t have happy memories of his school days.<\/p>\n
He recently told Big Issue: \u201cI didn\u2019t want to fit in with the other boys and that determination, that bloody-mindedness, has served me incredibly well as a comic. But I\u2019d rather not have gone to a boys\u2019 boarding school. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s helped me as a person. It certainly would have been really fantastic to get to know more girls. I\u2019m sure my attitude to women might be quite different now if I had.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard Adrian Edmondson talking about this, what boarding did to him. You\u2019re one person at home and another person at school. And they\u2019re very different people. I don\u2019t know, maybe that\u2019s the training that prepares you for the different worlds of work and home. Or maybe it turns you into a two faced shit.\u201d<\/p>\n
