Hi Missy,

(Or should I say Ay up, lass?) A cadet is someone who is training to be a soldier, sailor or flier. When I was at school I was in the local Air Training Corps which is a group of RAF cadets.

Sadly I became a lawyer instead which has nowt to do with flying ;-(

Missy

A cad is a VERY old-fashioned word for a someone who looks like a gentleman but who actually lies and cheats. (Warch any Terry Thomas film and you will get the idea.)

Mike,

Well, you had to find out sometime!

A cad is a man with low moral values. A bounder, a scalawag. Sort of a 19th century version of Bill Clinton.
But I shall maintain a higher standard of ethical behavior and refrain from posting from my vast stockpile of barrister-inspired humor.
