Interesting take on the Guardian standards

[unixman]

Chap/chappess doesn't seem to be using paragraphs properly. But scores highly on sentence length, eg:

"Amongst other new and surprising facts I’ve been told about myself on the Internet in the last couple of years by total strangers are that I write picture books about cats (I don’t; I write some books about golf and slightly more books about my life through the prism of what can be loosely termed cat ownership which also serve as a veiled way for me to write about place and rural eccentricity and tell stories about my dad and toads) and that I’m a typical middle class Guardian-writing Oxbridge graduate (I don’t even have any A-levels, let alone a degree; I spent most of my childhood living in a North Nottinghamshire mining village and my parents grew up on council estates in Liverpool and Nottingham)."

A perfect example of Guardian writing style. Garrulous and self obsessed. I'm not meaning to have a go at the author though.

They had a point though, he's one wordy m*********er.
