[QUOTE="Howard150, post: 4938050, member: 30002"] There is TV program living under the name Pointless where the theme is to give pointless answers - if you get my general drift. As far as establishing that the scruffy classes are deemed second rate - look no further than Lichfield. Did the WS have plots you could not walk on let alone plough? Did the machinery demonstrators have plots you could not walk on let alone plough? The list is endless. There will never be a vintage world championship. Pointless to compare the standing of Vintage / Classic alongside world. What you would be advised to do is look at the contribution made over the years by vintage factions rather than World Style and the return got for each. A simple analogy would be WS and vintage queuing at Costa for a coffee, both paying a tenner with the WS guy expecting coffee and a sandwich whilst the poor relation only gets a coffee which has to be consumed out the back rather that sat in the best seat. Attributing levels of status is not just snobbery but an insult to vintage ploughmen, many of whom possess skill sets far in advance of some WS ploughmen. Putting on such a class as World Vintage - in the eyes of many another pointless exercise. Pointless again Aitch. The vintage contribution far far outweighs that of the world stylers. Lest you forgot Aitch, there is no prize money, administration costs must be more than well met. Pointless again Aitch to declare the vintage as dying before looking at the dearth of World Style competitors. Lucky to get 20 at York. Your non arrival at Flint reduced the class by 33.33% [/QUOTE]
