IMPRESSION 3: Toff to Tuff

I have found that a good way to describe the types of people I have met is by the same classification as the newspapers here. Newspapers in the UK can roughly be split into three groups: the more serious papers (the broad sheets); the papers full of gossip (the tabloids); and the papers with tits or 'breasts' if that was a bit offesive to some (ie; the Sun).

You’ve got the classic upper class toff, refined and subtle in manner, perhaps a little superior and condescending in attitude. Thankfully not mant of them here in Weymouth.

Then there is the majority who conform loosely to the polite, upright and rather stiff stereotype. Beneath the exterior however there is a good sense of humour and a real willingness to help out.

But it is not all class or conformity – someone has to be buying the 3 million copies of the newspaper with 'size DD' being the BIG news story. There are a lot of ‘lads’ who are out for a loud, possibly violent time. They drink too much, druel over the trashy papers and get into fights over football results.

I thnik I am happy with the tabloids
