There goes civilisation...

Your original argument was about putting money aside each month to insure your future.
The cleaners who tidied up shit round Lehmann's office are also redundant.
It's true that you didn't use the word commoners, but that was certainly the implication of your use of "council estates"
I never "kicked anyones ass" at school, I never felt the need. I hope some one kicks yours soon.

I misunderstood what you meant by "buffer against redundancy", I understand now. In that case, yes, I do have one. Am I supposed to feel bad about that?

The ass-kicking I was referring to was in academic terms only. I'm not going to apologize for being good at academics. Don't worry, I'm sure you could kick my ass when it comes to riding a bike.

I only mentioned "council estates" to indicate that I don't live in some secret heretofore-unknown posh bit of Whitechapel that nobody knows about.
