yes -- I agree with Charles. Diversity. And I hope the tone won't be
beleaguered. Let's not forget that:
(a) we are not just there to service EngLit.
(b) with increasing students doing A-level the tide of dominance
could turn. In Singapore between 1975 and 1980 the balance of
power changed to favour English language -- if it could happen
there it could happen in Leeds or Birmingham too.
