Peter Cook and Dudley Moore kindly explain this pronoun issue from the 4:44 mark in the video clip below:

When I was at school and if it was your birthday you used to get egged and floured.


We either had bumps, pitting (thrown in the high-jump sandpit and get sand kicked all over you) or pile ons (jumped on by many people until you can't breathe)

When I was a PhD student, during my last term I contracted into a catered hall for my dinners. Once when I sat down a group of students near me were getting extra glasses of water and acting strange. I gently asked them "is something about to happen ?" They said "yes".

I picked up my tray and walked to the other end of the room, a moment later they started throwing food everywhere. I felt the whole thing was a pointless waste of food in a world where there are people who are unable to get sufficent food for a healthy life.

The kitchen supervisor came out and told them to clean up their mess, they ran off saying something rude. I then saw a cleaner come out and I felt very sorry for the cleaner. Why should the cleaner have to clean up up after a bunch of yobs who have worse table manners than preschool children ?

I later discovered that the students who had their food fight were billed for the cleaner's time, in those days if you had a outstanding debt to the university they would not allow you to graduate.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
