I think mine was about the horsey set - Polo

Class is about the 'class system' in Britain, she is so funny and has got it down to a fine art. I am working class but have worked for 'toffs' so have seen both sides. It's not a novel. Read it! If you can't get a copy I'll send you mine [pm me] I know it off by heart!

We must continue to make progress and not let our civilisation take a backward step. Go to -
