Damn, I was supposed to be back north of the border today - yet another reason to be sad that my plans fell through…

I couldn't help but notice that the new Upstairs, Downstairs acts like the class system was just a mere formality, yet Made in Jersey expects the audience to be astonished that in the year 2012 a girl from Jersey could make it in the Big City - as a Fancy Lady Lawyer no less!

I any case, it must have bothered enough…
