Suggestions today that we might see a fourth tier in England

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/30/dominic-raab-refuses-to-deny-...

I'm wondering what it's going to be called? The next natural one would be Hard Very High, but maybe they will jump straight to Severe? Or perhaps Mild Severe?

Might as well jump straight to the E grades and save everyone the hassle.

In Wigan, with reference to our diet, Pier 4.  Or, with reference to Orwell, also Pier 4.

I think "high" is synonymous with severe, so Extremely High would make sense.

Leaving room for Super Duper High if required.

As with climbing we need to move to an 'Extreme ' grading (E1, E2....).

Perhaps the next stage should be the mythical E0?

They should call it the 'Sturgeon Scale' and instead of continually embarrassing themselves the Tories should just make a big sign that says: 'What she said.  But two weeks later.'

The trouble with that is it would be open ended

Like it. They do have a big row of scales running down their lateral line. Odd looking fish.

More likely the rarely used "XS" grade - where survival or death is a bit of a lottery.

That’s like a joke from The Daily Mash. But two weeks later. 

I will concede that you are the expert in embarrassing oneself though.

Could we not use V(irus) grades?

The trouble is, whatever grade it is given, a minority won't like the inconvenience of the trad ethic and will treat it as A0.

I'm surprised that it doesn't go up to eleven so she could say it's one better...

Abominable.

In that case they could just call it the 3 pebble slab tier.
