Don't want to cause any offence here, but if the Prime Minister is implying that "ordinary" means "the norm", then he's misleading us. Brown is Scottish. And he's Scottish in a very Scottish way, what with being "a son of the manse".
The average voter doesn't know what a manse is. How many of you have even laid eyes on one? I haven't, though I'm guessing it looks like a vicarage with a little black cloud hovering over it, raining Calvinist guilt down the chimney. - Damian Thompson

"Manse" is a very Scots Presbyterian thing. In all the congregations I belonged to in eastern NC as a child, the minister's home was always "the manse."
