Pilgrim fathers vs telephone sanitisers, middlemen, advertising executives.

Timmy, if you are alluding to Douglas Adams the important group after the telephone sanitisers was surely the hairdressers and the Grauniad (G2) had a long article about how the UK is now the world leader in hairdressing!
I suppose it could be worse!
Love,
Anthony

Um, ok, I think I understand what B Ark means because we use that term over here in the Colonies too.
From what my understanding of the colonization process was, at least as it pertained to the American thirteen colonies, was that there certainly were some "gentlemen adventurers" in the Virginia colony at first, but then they got put to work, just to eat.
Most colonists were workerbees I think. Don't forget, America was a savage wilderness when the colonists arrived.
The British populated Australia with B Ark criminals, or so I've been told. They called it "transportation" as a criminal sentence.

O, ah ha! I gotcha! No, I don't think any of us would have done well in the Massachusetts Bay Colony either. Especially Jonster!
