My thanks to all of you who reacted to my quote from Churchill - especially those who failed to note the smiley!!
My attempt at socio-economic definitions was also intended as light-hearted, and the more astute of you may have noted my liberal use of inverted commas. My point was that the BOAC 'well-brought up gels' may indeed have come from the higher strata of society, but the tasks they performed in the workplace re-assigned them as 'working class' for the duration of their duties.
All that having been said, I shall now devote some time to reading the newspapers for the latest collection of unverified facts and uninformed opinions!
