"The later he is on, the less viewers there will be to see him!"

Given how people respond when they do see him, going second may be his best option.

No and thrice no. I am going to a concert instead.

I didn't even know it was on.

I may watch, out of a unpleasant wish to see Miliband flounder, but I am generally avoiding the election coverage because I expect it to be dire and shallow.

BE said...

Oh, but I think it clashes with The Good Wife.

An astute move by Mrs Trellis, who is masterminding Labours election campaign.

Will Mr Moribund eat a bacon sandwich while Cameron is on?

Pedantic I know, but for the plural word viewers you should use "fewer", not "less".

(Or perhaps were you assuming only 1 viewer at best?)

Put it this way.

1. We haven't had a TV for years.
2. We didn't know it was on

BUT

1. Had we a TV

AND

2. Had we known it was on.

No. Not bloody likely :-)

Elby and all - I shall watch - so you don't have to.

But I may be playing Disney infinitive at the same time.

Fewer/less pedantry is all the rage these days - why is this? I care little for it as regular readers know, I find using spell check a chore, let alone a grammer check too...

Because 'fewer' is a woody word, and 'less' is a tinny word.

Well that was highly informative.

It's spelt Raymond Luxury-Yacht, but pronounced Throat-Warbler Mangrove.
