I'm not sure if Alan Bennett, the playwright, is known that well beyond these shores, but an autobiographical documentary he made some years ago sticks in my mind and one scene in particular.

Bennett's delivery is all, and bald text does not do it justice, however:

Quote:
Alan Bennett reflects on the subject of class - 'My mother's scheme of things admitted to much finer distinctions than are allowed by the sociologists. She'd talk about people being better class, well-off, nicely-spoken, refined, educated, genuine, ordinary, and (the ultimate condemnation) common.'

I'm pretty sure they could have said Highest density in Pennsylvania. In fact all 168 of you are in Pennsylvania.

There are still 1,208 people in the world who have the last name Hitler.

I wonder if any of them are neo-nazis who took the last name to replace their own?
