......but the rich/toffs
still hate lavishly as war was just a inconvenience,infact i bet half didnt care//know

Actually the rich/toffs as your call them lost a higher proportion of their sons to the slaughter that was the Western Front, than did the so called working class.

Due to the fact that the officer corp lead by example. They went over the top first leading their men into death.

Come back Maggie all is forgiven.

What was so great about the Great War when thousands of soldiers went over the top and walked to their deaths. Such a tragic waste of life.

No, don't come back Maggie. You will never be forgiven.

Actually, I can't see the relevance of this sentence to the rest of the thread.

This is a quote of part of what you wrote

"half the uk was starvin n on
bare minimum rations but the rich/toffs
still hate lavishly as war was just a inconvenience,infact i bet half didnt care//know"

I take issue with your statement "as war was just a inconvenience"

Some inconvenience, when they the rich/toffs lost a high proportion of their sons.
