""One swallow doesn't make a summer, and one Boris doesn't make a trend.""

And one mid term dip doesn't make a loss at a general election. Look at the last fifty years and see how often it meant nothing.


""posh = people who think it's OK to go into someone's business premises and trash it because they can pay for the damage afterwards? (And I know someone who directly knows a restaurateur that happened to in Oxford.) And it's OK because they talk proper?""

That really isn't worthy of you Penny. Only a very few idiots act in that way, and there are as many dustmen and ditch diggers as posh twerps in that group.

There are two differences however:-

1. The posh boys make the national press, while the ditch diggers and dustmen get sympathy for their hard upbringing.

2. The proprietors get the damage paid for by the posh boys. I'm not sure that applies to the others (and I've heard quite a number of working class lads talking about taking sums of money on a night out which would pay for my one week holiday this year).

In reality, of course, POSH simply means people who speak correct English with proper pronunciation and has nothing to do with money, or I'd be able to afford two weeks holiday.
