"Remains of the Day" was written by a Japanese, excuse me for not taking it as a documentary. In reality, aristos are closer to what you find in Wodehouse.

Please don't register accounts to break the guidelines with.

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
