Yes, officers and gentlemen did seem to set themselves up as sniper-fodder in the old British army, didn't they? :-)
I'm all in favour of equality (at least equality of opportunity). Equal is good. Nobility and such are good for a few things (headlines, paraparazzi feeding, charity), but are fortunately a declining breed in the real world.
Interesting choice, Sir Monkey. Is that doctorship a PhD or MD? :-) :-)
(Lack of coherency tonight should be blamed on lack of sleep)
