I was recounting our trip to Spain to our bud Sean. Somehow I felt it apposite to explain how he guys sat in the front seat, the ladies in back. Sean, who thinks and talks in paragraphs, explained (I paraphrase from memory)::
It's definitely lower class. Were you middle class, the couples would have stayed together, each with his own. And upper class, anything goes.Oddly enough, this sounds right o me, I have no idea why. But it does remind me to write a letter to the GPS maker, with whom I have an unpicked crow. Dear Mr. Tom; may I call you Tom...
