Subject: RE: BS: Boat race disrupted...
Well ,this right wing hooray tosser lives in Henley on Thames ,where people , many of them "working class" (whatever that is ) can be seen out on the river , enjoying the sport of rowing ,as they have been able to do for many years without having to have been educated at Oxford or Cambridge ,or indeed any "elitist" University . It is entirely possible ,in fact ,that many of them were , like me , born in a Victorian terraced house with no bathroom ,and an outside toilet, but who were able , nevertheless , to get through life without having a huge chip on their shoulders about "the rich" ,elitism , or the inherent unfairness of life in the Real World .
       I would like to add that I don't row myself,nor do I follow it or even attend the Henley Regatta that is on my doorstep ,and am currently subsisting on a small Naval pension,and "Pension Credit" and Housing Benefit ,from The State. But I don't see much to complain about ; there are more important things in life.

God Save The Queen !
