	Elizabeth - a hard call. I suppose it meant those of a higher 'class' - who had more money than you. Totally opposite to the way I was brought up. Dad's ambition was that we talk to a beggar and a king in the same manner. HIs philosophy was, that neither a king nor a beggar has much say in their standing, it's all down to circumstance, so why is one 'better' than the other. I've met quite a few people a lot wealthier than me (not difficult) who have absolutely no manners, think they have a god- given right to be obnoxious to 'lower' classes, and to my mind are just ignorant. If their 'stance' is questioned, they have no answer. I have no respect for them.

	Just because we're old, does that make us senile, febrile or dumb. Far from it! Life is a sponge & as we progress, we learn what to retain, learn what to discard, to our advantage. We form a borderless realm of infinite possibility. But in today's world, our accumulated collective knowledge & life-long experiences are sometimes not wanted and, like my slow computer, it could use a refresher now & again. Some of us oldies have a tendency to behave badly when we think no one is looking. That’s life! Sob! Sob!
