* JokeTitleRealRole: In "Tomkinson's Schooldays", "School Bully" is an official position that comes with outrageous privileges and the unspoken expectation to insult and abuse everyone (including the teachers and headmaster). Grayson, who holds the post, demands that everyone call him School Bully, and introduces himself as such (instead of by name) when he answers the phone. At the end of the story, the battered titular protagonist inherits the position from Grayson, who has vacated it to accept the position of School Bully at Eton (because ''their'' School Bully has left to join the government).
