bread   10 #137 Posted July 31, 2010 Well, I haven't logged onto the forum recently so it's been a while since I've checked this post. My, how it's grown! I thought I was just asking an innocent question. I look forward to meeting all you middle class graduates and working class locals (or actually, maybe not all of you as some of you got a bit nasty!).  At risk of stirring things up again though... The government does classify people into classes but they don't call it working, middle and upper class. They talk about socioeconomic classes I, II, III, IV and V and base this on the type of occupation you have. Anyway, what does it matter what class you are? If you're a decent person I'll like you. If you're miserable, judgemental, arrogant, nasty, leachy, prejudiced, selfish, disrespectful or violent (this list is not exhaustive) I'll stay out your way.

bread   10 #139 Posted July 31, 2010 Thanks PaulWilliams. That's the kind of answer I was looking for all along! Here's hoping the sale doesn't fall through! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone   10 #140 Posted August 1, 2010 They have different jobs, but they are actually in the same class. If they were further advanced, they would probably live in S17 Changed your mind did you?  There is no such thing as class in Walkley.  Everyone can see what area of work you are in, unless you are telling fibs, if so, that makes you look foolish.  I missed this comment before. What area is that then? Where I just 'use' bits of kit but don't create anything?  I agree that it's a decent area to live in, I think I said so on page one or two.

bunkey   10 #141 Posted August 1, 2010 Can someone tell me what the area around Linekar road is like?   I live near Linekar Road - it is nice down this end of Walkley. You can have a nice walk up to Bole Hill Park or down to Rivelin.  However Linekar does seem to get a little more traffic than we do, people seem to use it as a short cut coming from Stannington to avoid Hillsboro. Still pretty quiet though!  And the new butchers is fab!! we will be def getting all our meat from there instead of Tesco! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
roobarbpie   10 #142 Posted August 2, 2010 I love living in Walkley - lots of people with a similar mind-set to mine.

Good people, good shops, good transport network, good pubs.......  What more could you ask for.  I'm sorry, but you say this like it is fact or something. It is purely subjective.  I'm sure the families of those stabbed or gunned down and killed within the Walkley area would disagree with you.  From my perspective, I have had some very bad experiences in Walkey and would not take up permanent residency there if I could help it.

Cyclone   10 #144 Posted August 4, 2010 I can't think of anyone stabbed or 'gunned down' in Walkley, so there won't be many of those families. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
