The Ladder, The Rung, and the Crowley

Why? There's nothing wrong with being a peasant. Salt of the Earth they are.

Besides, do you seriously think Crowley is not a peasant? :-)

Yeah right. As if many of them have had the benefit of a classical education and even give an antipodean lager about whether whoever cobbled together their logo picked the wrong word.

Come to think of it, maybe the wrong word was chosen deliberately, on the basis that at least some of the lads might know what arduous means, and might think that when the war was over they'd each get a nice Vauxhall as a bonus.

Sorry to sound pedantic but peasant is a bit too pastoral. Coming from the bleak impoverished backstreets of industrial Manchester I am more of a 'prole' or a 'pleb'.

It wasn't a grammar in north Manchester was it ?

Suit yourself. How about "simple soul", will that do? I didn't think plebs did pedantry. :-)

Don't be so modest. I'm sure you're not that simple :-)

Sunday Times (22/1): The middle classes are turning against divorce with

66% saying that couples should stay together when they hit trouble as opposed to 40% in 1970. Divorce won't remain the growth area that it has been.

Clearly due to a lack of supply, mind you the media seem to doing their bit in promoting loveless marriages :-
