Yes, I think that was the point of the action, the toffs got the rubbish, and the proles the best. I Earnshaw's telling, they did not notice for months because they toffs thought that was what quality would taste like, so obedient were they to the labelling... Whether any of this is true, or just Earnshavian wit, I don't know. Check him out at http://www.anthonyearnshaw.com/
