In years to come when Mr Archer is addressing the leader of the opposition across the floor of the House Of Commons this story may well come back to haunt him. Will he care? Will he pluck! ;)

It would be easy to indulge in a bit of toff bashing here however reaction to this story requires a little perspective. These guys weren't brought up on a housing estate in Lewisham but rather on country estates throughout this green and pleasant land. They are about as far removed from life on a council estate as it is possible to be and therefore it probably never occurred to them that they were doing anything untoward. If one is used to a certain lifestyle then it is likely to influence your decisions. Couple that with the devil-may-care attitude of many people their age and suddenly it all makes sense. In my opinion what is lacking in this scenario is common sense, but show me a student who hasn't made a 'boo boo' at some point in their time at university and I'll stand you a pink Gorilla costume. The fact they went on to utilize the Partridges in the main course at a dinner party is to be applauded, beats ordering Pizzas from Domino's :)
