Frankly, we know who we are and that's sufficient

Not sure that all Silvers understand salvers. Slivers is better, although that still fails to capture the group dynamic.

A Gob of Gold is obvious, a Bleat of Bronze is possible ... But, as always, the middle ground is hard to encapsulate. A 'contentment' of Silvers?
Can't say a sliver of silvers, as the silver level is far from a sliver of BAEC. And I'll be back in the Silver gang next year. Just so happened this year that 3 TATLs in F plus some J got me just over 1500TPs. Will I notice the difference?. Not really, though it may impress a lady friend when flying domestic, but that would probably have been the same if I was Silver and we would only be sitting in the Galleries lounges. Silver suits me fine, is pitched about right, though the access to the JW blue in the F lounge is welcome
