NJS 4386 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Class is a two mind thing - I know my parents were working class and consider myself the same depsite a pretty good life because of how I was brought up but think if I had had kids they'd probably think of themsleves as middle class (see my niece/nephew as good examples). It's a mixture of inheritance, attitude, pride and then lifestyle as an adult. I would like to think I'd have tried to instill good working class values (community/humility/work ethic) if I'd had the chance but I see a lot of people who forget their legacy. I'm not saying we should all want to shit in an outside bog going forward but I think remembering that past is worthwhile (possibly metaphorically but perhaps literally). One thing I do despise though is working class respect for the aristocracy - as I've said before the first time I went to London when I was sixteen, I would have loved to have had access to a time machine and transported proper working class mililtants back to a point in history when we could have done what the French did and have a revolution - How anyone can wander around the place and not think fuck me this is wrong is beyond help imo.

NJS 4386 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 who would you rather your kids associated with at the game? criminal thugs or the intelligensia? Kids should go with their dads relatively civislised until about 12/13/14 - then they should be going with their mates and start getting imbued with anger, bitterness, passion and hatred.

The point remains. None of that means you're middle class. Wanting to better yourself is natural and millions succeed in doing it. Quoting a few poncey words doesnt mean theyll accept you into something like the Reform Club, where class means a huge amount. Are you associated with anything that gives a fuck who you're old man was?...if you are, thats to do with class. If not, thats to do with how youve turned out yourself.

After checking it was vaguely fit for sitting and then checking there was paper when he manouvred to shut and lock the cubicle door it came to his immediate attention that someone had sellotaped a human shit to the back of it I'm not sure if it was upper, middle or lower but class nontheless !
