I am reading your blog because you can actually relate to your dear readers on many levels and we love it. This isn't going to happen again - should probably refrain from 'comments' sections for a while. <br />ChristianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-42229049916117584612015-01-20T17:00:12.752+00:002015-01-20T17:00:12.752+00:00More wonderfully kind comments; thank you all. And...More wonderfully kind comments; thank you all. And Christiane - it is incredibly generous of you to take the time to point out mistakes. I always make them when I write a long post and I am tired and my copy-editing skills desert me. I'm slightly baffled though, as I understood 'ne plus ultra' to mean the ultimate, the highest point, which is what I meant. Perhaps I have been wrong about this all my life. My Latin is absolute buggery bollocks. And with the French one I was trying to say aristos to the lamposts, or string 'em up, although I freely admit that there should have been a comma. (Blogger is awful for editing, since it reformats all the paragraphs, so I'm going to leave the errant comma out, if you will forgive me.) But I'd love it if you would elucidate. Should it have been Les aristocrates á la lanterne? I'm now avid for the correct versions of both. I have often had angst about tumbling into the elephant traps of misappropriation and misquotation and am enchanted to find a fellow pedant. <br />Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-134674139332286882015-01-20T13:45:52.616+00:002015-01-20T13:45:52.616+00:00I don't know who James Blunt is, but I know th...I don't know who James Blunt is, but I know that being upper middle class will make some people get agressive towards you. I've never felt inclined to hide a simple fact - why and how ? Who should I try to enact - a medieval maiden ?<br />Having been in science all my life I look just the person that I am, in corduroys actually. I could tell a retired teacher, pharmacist, person managing a farm - they look like me. Nobody can disguise where they come from, even less when they try too hard. I feel sorry for a person when they do it. Would I get on with everybody ? Apparently not. (and sorry, but the latin and french quotes are both wrong)<br />ChristianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-23314999907397177952015-01-20T05:19:57.501+00:002015-01-20T05:19:57.501+00:00I find your words inspirational.

Public school education (although I often why my parents bothered paying extortionate fees for my education) and then university, where I must add I was amased at getting first class honors in economics and then a 2/1 in management from Open University. Like James Blunt in between my my education at Aberdeen Grammar School and University I too saw the horrors of conflict, which I may add lives with me daily. Does my education mean I am a member of the elite? No I am as common as muck, enjoy getting my hands ,winding up the author of this blog when I get the chance, and helping other veterans who like myself have been broken by the system. I am unsure where this is going so I will stop now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051870030259776635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-55463005474861279022015-01-20T03:37:19.012+00:002015-01-20T03:37:19.012+00:00People who define and/ or deal with other people a...People who define and/ or deal with other people according to some (cocked up, in my opinion!) notion of "class" are, well, rather classless....I find.<br /><br />As k says, good, kind, compassionate people are to be found everywhere.<br /><br />XXPat (in Belgium)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02367089351412953926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-56312472903325658102015-01-20T02:23:56.514+00:002015-01-20T02:23:56.514+00:00I love Stanley's ears.
