Subject: RE: English Folk - Peasants to Professors
If we're being strict on teminology I'd argue with "peasants", who didn't really exist as such in the country after the enclosure movement, if we accept the views of the esteemed W.G.Hoskins

According to my father-in-law, peasants nowadays come from Luton, so who am I to argue?
