This has varied over the 20 years since our children and our grandchildren have gotten their permits.
Even at its strictest it had exceptions as I pointed out.

It's probably best that you maintain this non-familiarity!
It never was, isn't and probably never will be!

You might be thinking of the junior license that was available at 17. The permit strictures have not changed substantially since I got my license around 1978.
Could be.

Only in the east end of London apparently.
As an example, when you ask someone if they are ok, the response from a normal person is usually "yes thanks". Whereas an Eastenders character would answer with "of course I am, why shouldn't I be?".
And if you come from the east end, the d in shouldn't is silent!

Didn't you mean 1878????
Hmmm... With what shall we shoot it?Nah...shoot the TV and get rid of the unexposed silver on the film!
PS -- I have not owed a TV since 1975 or so, but All in the Family was not too bad for USA TV.

That is the same as in New Jersey.
And Penisylvania.

May I thank the moderators of this forum for permitting such a diverse and off topic thread to run as this one did? But rest assured we are still film photographers at heart, but with many diverse interests and it is sometimes good to discuss these at length.
No reason why it shouldn't be permitted. It's all been done in fun and no one has insulted anyone else. It's not like we were discussing the relative merits of Nikon and Canon!
I'm still amazed it has run to 46 pages though.

On a different forum that you are familiar with, this would have been locked out within the first page.
We can do that if you'd like. From a ethical and philosophical perspective, and in a standardised pedantic manner: Nikon; No question about it.

Sounds like that's one of the canons of your beliefs!
Amen.
Slingshot was good enough for David...
Yes!! It's been fun talking to new people. We should do it more often. Jerry

You're a little late to the party, amigo. Mentioned twice already (and once or twice by inference). Also mentioned were "hoosiers", which is almost enough to qualify as a new and honoured tradition!
Of course then you have the other end of the spectrum with the "good for you old man" types that hopefully have all died out.
Watching some of the documentaries from the Military Channel on the Brits in charge of the war effort like the Mountbattens and his group, that probably all went to Eaton. They all have the upper crust put on accent, dragging out words with a baritone drawl, trying to sound terribly important, don't you see. Boring reminiscences of their days in the House of Commons, and stiff upper lip and all that.
My God having to listen to those pompous asses for 10 minutes makes one want to do an Eastenders marathon.
I've always liked the comment that "the existence of The House of Lords is proof of life after death."
May I suggest two older but great movies about the "upper crust". Alec Guiness in Kind Hearts and Coronets and Peter O'Toole in The Ruling Class.

Eaton make twin speed axles for trucks. I think you mean Eton, a school founded by King Henry VI as a school for poor boys which has somehow lost its original purpose.
