[edit] External links

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Courteney Cox. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --Yamla 15:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] March 2007

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Johnnie Walker, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Wikipedia.

RJASE1: I didn't know that such links were considered spam; I was merely putting previous links in a more readable format. I apologize for violating Wikipedia conventions.

[edit] How to get on in Society

Thanks for your message (U and non-U English). I can only direct you to John Betjeman's gently humorous ditty of the title, which you can find [here]. Whatever anyone says, in England, the class structure is still very much alive, and not much changed (although I don't know anyone who says 'looking glass' any more).

Fish knives are non-U because they didn't exist before the late C19 - thus showing that your cutlery was not old, and purchased (rather than being handed down)!

Cruets are interesting. Again, I think they were not around much before the C19 (you had silver trencher-salts [[1]]). I think the idea of having salt, pepper and mustard all together in a neat little tray thing is probably rather, well, bourgeois...

As for doilies, those round paper jobs cut to look like lace, they are just too 'twee' and are definitely contrary to the down-to-earth thinking of the aristocracy.

The whole thing is a game in order to avoid non-members joining your group. I imagine the Game exists in some form or another in all societies from the English aristocracy to remote New-Guinea tribes. I find it great fun and hugely entertaining. Those with less humour find it irritating in the extreme.

No need to revert your edits as I see someone has already done so!

Best wishes
