"By that, I'm asking whether your parents had jobs that were menial or unskilled or involved labour (plumber, sparky, driver etc)." Again, an unclear area: They were both from working class backgrounds. When I was little, my mum was a nursery nurse, the very bottom rung of 'teaching', upper lower class, or lower middle class, depending on your point of view, I suppose. My dad was a bit more complex: He started training as a librarian, but by his mid-twenties had had enough of it and quite to be a bricky in a london building firm. He stayed at home to look after me as a sprog (couldn't afford a nursery) and then became a lorry driver, followed by working at a builder's merchant/diy place. I suppose it's a funny mix of middle class intellectualism, combined with working class means, attitudes and a decided lack of snobbery (despite their intelligence and education, they never looked down their noses at other people and we had and still do, have a lot of working class friends). |

I have a similar mix, since my mum was a single mother living in a council flat in an estate bringing up two kids and then met my step-father who has two degrees, works for Shell and now brings home probably over 100 grand a year. |

There's no getting things past YOU, belchy - that was the very reason I started this thread. |
