I even travel (sometimes) on buses, LO ! That way I keep in contact with and can reliably inform you of the goings-on amongst the feral classes.

I'll look forward to reading the results of this "contact". Because the guff - the sheer, snobbish rubbish - you write about the "feral classes" appears to be little more than the "observations" of one who hasn't actually done any observing. I may be wrong. And you may be a warm human being with much to offer humanity. And if that's the case I apologise for having garnered completely the opposite impression.

You think they're not kept in a state of perpetual awareness of their traveling companion's noble lineage, IA? I mean... how many people do you know who'd be likely to open a conversation with "Among my ancestors are..."? or "Hey, feral scum, do you know who my great great great uncle's third cousin was? That's right, Martin Fitzpatrick, homosexual bastard son of Quentin Somerville-Goatcabin, Admiral of the Ocean Sea and Spaniel-In-Law to Queen Kevin of Lisbon. I'll bet you're all amazed, right?".

Yeah, OK, I know... you'd have lost the will to live by the end of the question. So you're lucky. This time the situation is merely hypothetical. It could be a real-life waking nightmare. Which is why you must never... never... use public transport when in Derbyshire.

Well, yesterday morning I noticed the etiquette required when getting on a bus with a push chair !

Firstly, a woman got on the bus, purchased her ticket and sat down (she ought to have bought three tickets - one for each cheek and another for the overspill).

Then the woman with the push chair gets on. Firstly she parks the (empty) push chir in front of three seats (rendering them unusable), then puts her plastic bags on a further two seats, with her two offspring sitting on the two seats behind. She then plonks herself (diagonally) across a further 2 seats. This means she has now taken use of 11 seats (because no one is going to sit behind the offspring, are they - in case they scream, shit or puke).

Before the bus has even pulled away, the offspring jump up and run to the back of the bus, and for the remainder of the (fortunately short) journey she continues to have a "conversation" with them - the entire length of the bus.

Well, as most of them don't even know who their own father is I think they would be very very impressed (and probably demand a "loan" till the next dole comes)

possibly Polish Gypsy squatters and nicked the wheel chair during the riots.

I'd like to know which line of descent you claim veritas (mine is via the Beaumonts - but if you also include the female line then I have another direct link via the Talbot family).

Again no proof just another dose of hot air

Talbot to me, LO, is a rather fine Red Wine - Claret, I think (but I hate Tannin so what do I know?).

It was also briefly an old make of car,last seen as a badge on very dodgy Chryslers in the Uk.Quite apt actually

Chateau Talbot is indeed a fine Bordeaux. I have a couple of cases laid down, but need to wait another 10 years before I drink it.

Bean used to love it; he's over now my God daughter 2 is about to attend Edinburgh University - we're dining Monday - I'll suggest he sips a Talbot!

Isn't a Talbot a breed of dog?

Its also the family name of the Earls of Shrewsbury.

The 6th Earl married Elizabeth Hardwick (Bess of Hardwick) and built some of the finest houses in England - ie Chatsworth and Hardwick.

Perhaps your ancestors were their serfs ?

Apologies, JK, if this is inflammatory, I just couldn't resist it.
