"Thanks for putting me right on this Bill, now you've given me the chance to distinguish between the
out-of-towners and proper village folk - scowls from the former and grins from the latter"
No mate, the former and latter I'm referring to are not in former and latter posts, but the former and latter subjects of my sentence, i.e, the former are the out-of-towners (scowling
) and the latter are the proper village folk (grinning
) - see highlighted above.
Cheers
