Thought of you mon ami when I read a piece in the Speccy by Will Knowland, the teacher sacked off by the Wokists now running Eton College.

He was talking about about his early days teaching there, and one lesson when some of the boys seemed unenthused and bored by Milton. 'Cheer up' he told them, 'two hundred years ago you could have been working down a mine'. 'Sir,' one of them replied deadpan, 'Two hundred years ago we'd have owned the mine.'

Thought you'd like that.
