Don't actually think Guest Mike said he was superior to Betjeman meself.
He expressed a distaste for "Modern Poest" note the capitalisation.
He said that he, and his unpublished poet friends, thought poetry has gone downhill since Betjeman, and while I don't totally agree with him, there is an awful lot of pretentious crap around.
Mind you, there was pretentious crap around in Betjeman's day too, I heard quite a lot of it at poetry readings, at the time.
