Sounds interesting but there is a tacit assumption here that these are mutually exclusive categories
and that one is richer than the other, being both "service user" an odious term I'd like to expunge,
and a post grad, I am actually worse off than the average in either category since no bugger so far
is paying for me.
Anyway tis only up the road in Nottingham (assuming it is not flooded, global warming and all that)
so perhaps the price of my attendance will be to buy me a beer or two, and then I am yours :)
