My intelligence is in general not superior but I believe my posts are legible. Slinny may or may not have a valid point but if it is not clear I, for one will never know. Hence my genuine request for clarification of the point he was trying to make. I dont think that is taking the P as you put it, if you do then you have got the wrong end of the stick.

The only thing I will tell you is I define my self as working class , other people will define themselves as not . It is up to the way they define their outlook on life my out look was go out and provide for my family  but I guess that is not the answer you would like me to come up with.  Sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That wage may seem excessive to others but does that make me any less working class? Edited June 15, 2022 by sheffbag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That wage may seem excessive to others but does that make me any less working class? No it does not . I had heart attack and went from very hard job . To looking after people with learning difficulties , but I did not change my thoughts on how the country is ran . And in my mind it is not ran at all right now but must say when kids were growing up did not take as much notice off who was in power , when I started taking time on it was when thatcher came to power , I saw many industry’s and comunitys  ruined , . But I will also sayi think Blair was light blue . And that from a life labour voter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Those who don't put on false "Airs & Graces" but Yes, people who work to keep themselves and their families, but still includes those who may be temporarily out of work through illness or unemployment. Those who would have no income unless they worked for a living. Those who are not only willing to be called working class but also proud and happy to come under that banner. The genuine, down to earth, hardworking people who toiled and made this country the strongest, richest and best in the world until everything was dismantled or sold off in the 80's.

You seem to have done well for yourself but that was through your own efforts and certainly doesn't rule you out of being working class. If you are proud to call yourself working class then you are. If you shudder at the thought, then you must have clocked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
