The other day I chanced upon a radio interview and phone in with that chap who swum in front of the boat race, causing it to be restarted. And I was quite taken aback by the support he got from several people because "the Boat Race is an elitest event". Eh?
They were basically saying no-one else gets a chance to enter. Well no, I thought. They wouldn't would they, it being the Varsity Boat Race. Between Oxford and Cambridge. That's not hard to understand is it?
So, with my reactionary hat on and my blood pressure slightly above the norm, I mumbled "Bloody..." but I couldn't think of the right term.
Can anybody help?
