Well, in your case “these“ is a pronoun apparently….see here if you are still awake….. I’m from Wiltshire, now residing in Somerset, so grammar is certainly not my strongpoint.

Well Dave as you can see we are all nuttier than a bar of Cadbury's fruit and nut. Hope we have not sent you packing.

@boatman In the old days, They, Them, Those, These, where used to address collectively or to 'identify' an unknown. As in when the wife says "put those things back on the shelf". Or when your statement describes persons unknown and or unidentified. "They walked up the road to the others and started arguing with those on the corner."

Nowadays they are more known for describing people who dont know there are only two Genders and cant decide which they are.
