I've been watching it but wasn't in last night and have taped the final episode - so don't tell me who won!  I think the girl who was the gas fitter tried the hardest (sorry didn't work out their names).  I've got to say I'm nearer a 'lady' and definitely not a ladette.  I spent my childhood being teased for being 'posh' which I'm not I was just taught to talk properly and don't drop my 't's, 'h's or anything else.  To add to my identity crisis I once worked for a very old, established company and was accused of being common by one of the directors.  I can't win!

I think being a lady matters but not to the extent the finishing school was teaching.  The part that truly shocked me was when one girl admitted to sleeping with anyone, even complete strangers, when she was drunk.  My generation had aids and other sexually transmitted diseases constantly in the news and it is almost unmentioned now, so I think there is a whole new generation that does not understand the possible dangers of casual sex.  

I'm sounding like a complete prude but I can go out a get drunk with the girls too!
