For the social dlimber, Englarid would be heaven, as onie could al- ways flnd somfeone tai whom they could be où à higlier level. It seerns that there are dozezis of different social levels one could, aspire to if they reaflý were in- terested i the whole. thing. I will give some idea as to how they persist'in séparatirig you ,into a certain class group. For Instance, in their theatres thse seats range i price from a sixpence tor nine- pence, to one shilling, one and four, one and six, 2 shillings, 2 and 6, and 3 shillings. Theseare carried out i ail their theatres, se that practically as soon as you buy a theatre ticket you're label- ling yourself as being in a certain wage-earning class. The saine applies i the pubs. oudrink in tise public bar, a glass of aie L5osts, sixperice. Thse saine drink fron tise same barrel taker in thite saloori lounge costs you seven pence, and ti the pri, vate bar eiglit pence. The whole thing secins ridiculous. The trains are thse sanie.

Their taste in clothes seems dull arid conserva- tive. I- thtik that ta because of tise climate and clatises must be ser*iceable. 1Tiseir food is terrible.
