A new class of dinghy?

I'm sure you really mean 'knob song'

Oh dear the price of starch increased has it?

That's a fine piece of snowflake BS coming from a two homed executive living the dream..

Personally I could give a tinkers cuss to the latterday pussyboy and girl no hope generation of self entitled no marks. My lot endured rationing until we were seven and I think I was eight before I even experienced a banana, we roamed bomb sites as our playgrounds and worked from the moment we were able. Paper rounds, menial jobs whatever we could do to scratch a living, working with closed shops, unions, three day weeks, strikes inflation at 20%, then booms and busts at regular interval, making and losing small fortunes as the markets also waxed and waned, housing price collapses anyone remember Anthony Barber, and that other idiot Lawson was it? Then that exchange rate debacle under Major cost me three hundred grand as Sorus shorted sterling. We voted labour to get a swing of the pendulum back against the outrages of capitalism and what did we get? Blair, Brown and more of the same until the next financial disaster.
No, we've paid our dues and if the youth of today have any sense they'll deliver Corbyn and it'll be everything the b**tards deserve.

As long as I can encourage the Taxman to keep on provding me with boats I'll keep quoting that apt saying from our generation.. I'm alright Jack.
