It might distress some people to know that these 'idle spongers' (
lackluster wastrels?
gentleman rogues?) are OWs. What is an
OW? An 'old westminster' - an
alumnus of
Westminster School in London (are you an alumnus of a school?). This is one of the oldest schools in
England, perhaps 500 years, and certainly one of the more expensive. While other OWs go on to be politicians and captains of industry, A&J go on to make
Ally McSqueal. Other OWs include
Sir Arthur John Gielgud OM, CH Rear-Admiral
Dennis Royle Cambell CB, DSC and
Sir William Radcliffe Van Straubenzee (I am not making this up :). And that's just the obituaries of
The Elizabethan.
Oh...and me. I'm an OW. Ahh....
