This Greek & Latin thing is making fun of Oxbridge insider elitism within the Civil Service, doesn't it?
-
@Pantagruel42 To which the minister looks blank, and Humphrey had to translate: "It was I"
-
The running joke that Hacker never went to gymnasium, or whatever it is called in Britian....

-

-
Humphrey is just to damn educated! lol, better brush up on my latin.

laughed out loud at this one, especially the "...of course there IS no ablative in Greek!"
One Yes Minister clip I've not been able to find on u2b is from Series 3, Ep 3 (The Skeleton in the Closet) in which Humphrey has that wonderful denial speech ending with "...not to put too fine a point on it, the individual in question is, it may surprise you to learn, one whom your present interlocutor is in the habit of defining by means of the perpendicular pronoun." Any chance you could post that?

@theoldgalah You inherited our constitutional monarchy. Which means that you get the civil service making a balls of everything. It's the same here to, and I dare say in Canada, South Africa, New Zealand etc etc. This sitcom is mostly based on actual events from memoirs of politicians and civil servants. You can name any episode and there will be a parallel within Whitehall history.

Ironically, of the three simple positional labels for (mainly aromatic) cyclical compounds, meta is the only one that dioxins cannot exist as.
