@ Paul and all okay, my own (yes, it's mine) joke of the month before I got confined was

"How does an Irishman clean a door handle?"

It's the sort of joke where you have to be in front of the person you are telling it to so use your imagination

When they say that they don't know, you wipe some imaginary door handle, look at it with an expression of dissatisfaction, (pretend to) spit on it, and then wipe it again.

Just joking Yeah, sorry, times like these lead me into the escapism of humour (hence the reference to Life of Brian).

Bottom line: I think "debt class" (or class of debt) are good answers.

Thanks.
agree Deane Goltermann : 'Class of debt' is better here. I found this difference on the website Adrian referenced. Looked into the general Eng usage, and this is used more widely. 'class' works in this context, while 'tier' works for individual companies.

Thanks Deane and nice of you to agree with an observation rather than posting the similar alternative.
agree Paul Lambert : Yes, both are fine but "Class of debt" is preferred these days, just like "people of colour" or "burgers of cheese", not to mention the "People's Front of Judaea" as opposed to the "Judean People's Front".

Thanks Paul. Are you really sure about "burgers of cheese" v cheeseburger" for instance? Or was it a joke?
