"The thing is about rowing, its like fives and foxhunting - it posh gits"

Is it really?
You know me, Al - am I a "Posh git"?
Thought not.
But for 15 years or so I was a competition rower, I took part in racing at regattas all over the north and midlands. The guys I rowed with were all, to a man, from the same background as me - factory- or office-worker parents, council house dwellers, state school education, never been anywhere but Skeg or Mablethorpe on holiday (if we got a holiday which, in many years, we didn't). And many of the guys I rowed against from other rowing clubs were exactly the same.

Yes, some of the people I rubbed shoulders with were the sons and daughters of toffs, but most weren't. They were just ordianry guys and girls.

It's a mistake to stereotype on the basis of one's own prejudices, doncha fink?
