You can read a person's character to a certain extent by the way they write - did you take 'O' levels by the way or did you leave school at 15. My first intuition is the former.
Funny they taught you that definition all those years ago, when I was at school the word 'mince' meant putting meat in a machine and turning it into very small pieces. I wasn't deemed bright enough for the 'O' level group so I did CSEs at school, quite badly. I think my main achievement on leaving was a cycling proficiency badge.

I'll happily hand over my £20 note in December should I lose the bet (I'd say you were favourite to win), but I'll be giving it to you. If you decide the Newark Conservative party are the most deserving charity case then that's your decision entirely. Should I happen to win, the money would go to a children's cancer charity.
