Re: Maybe I'm just old-fashioned but...

Quite frankly, at least if I HAD crossed the line to be considered middle class then that could only be seen as an achievement for all young people in this area. I didn't get to University by going to a grammar school or even with decent A levels, I got in through determination and personality, which I think there is a great lack of these days. You're either middle class and daddy helps you or you are working class and resign yourself to a life at Asda and just give up.

You won't find me sat in a Starbucks in the city or in a wine bar somewhere though. No, I'll just sit in the pub with my pint and complain about the same things you lot do. You just keep telling yourself that I'm middle class. It just so happens that the youth of the working class ARE revolting against the educational norms and actually making something of themselves. Please forgive me if I don't just want to lie down and die.
