He’s been saying much the same for years.
Another long winded way of saying “we have and are still being have been mugged”

Just as well you edited that otherwise it might have made sense.

Wee Eck has got you Parboiled. Your sentence doesn`t make sense grammatically. Think you`ve added one word too many.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Oh dear, Mrs P hadn’t given my pince- nez its morning polish.
That’s her Woman’s Realm up the spout for a month.

Thank goodness it was Mrs P`s fault. I was worried it might be due to a poor education.

You mean ‘owing to a poor education’? 😀

Either is acceptable according to my dictionary. `On account of` is another option.

Aye, anything goes in those modern dictionaries.
It used to be that you could say:
The train was late owing to snow.
Or you could say:
The train’s lateness was due to snow.
But this distinction is pretty subtle and too pedantic even for me.
