went on a lovely walk for the hope and homes charity yesterday through the hertfordshire countryside. there were nine stations at which one collected stickers to coincide with the countries in which the charity is active. along the way [at station five i believe], at the foot of a long sloping hill, a man sitting in a green canvas folding chair and exchanged pleasentries....mostly about the weather. then he asked if i was listening to the Ryder Cup? I asked him why? he replied 'well, you are clearly from north america so i assume you are following the golf!'
i think it was the Victorians who wrote about the distinguishing features of the classes. how victorian to still be so clearly categorized by language stereotypes. will we ever rise above this? can we?
