I

"I" is the subject of " 'd not want." Grammatically, that is all it is. The subject for "never thought" is the pronoun "I." But it is not the same "I" that we see in "I'd not want..."

Referentially, the omitted "I" is the same individual as "I" in "I' "

Englishmaven"I" is the subject of " 'd not want."

Thanks.

Please give your threads more helpful titles, Anon. 'Item' tells us nothing.

Sorry, but it's the wrong tree. My title was "I", and it was changed (by the editor algorithm which may not tolerate the pronoun I in the title slot?) into that clumsy "Item", indeed.

'I' would tell us very little. 'I as subject of two verbs?' would give us more idea of what the thread was about.

Hi

I took it to mean 'News Item' which it was

Never thought I'd be that interested in a football story, but I liked the fact that, when Leicester started the season, their odds were about the same as Mr Presley making a reappearance
