Re: Cap "tippin" farm hands

Driller obviously didn't attend the Countryside March - otherwise he would have met a lot of people who were not in the least posh. It was also the only demonstration that I can remember that had its own people collecting any rubbish along the way. We talked to a lot of people from all backgrounds, not just "toffs". In any event, those enjoying landed estates these days are more likely to be footballers and pop stars than old fashioned "landed gentry". The country should be run by those who understand it, not by some faceless erk in Whitehall who thinks the whole thing is run purely for some notion of the "upper classes". Of which I am not, and never have been, one.
