I liked the line "Selling due to change of class" in this ad:


clicky


Is he too posh for sailing now or has the recession hit and now he cannot be
seen to be a sailor?

Thank you. I think that is sorted now - it was much harder than I thought as
the computer kept wanting to add extra spaces for no apparent reason. Don't you just love computers that think they are clever.

For those who cannot work thios one....

Normally you would say changing class if you were switching to a different boat...

In this case he has said change of class (which could be read as he believes his social status has changed and a Laser is far too middle class for him......)
