& he used to be very good looking:eek::eek:
He's quite sweet
Loving the fact that he openly admits to not liking Cherie.
Loving the London lass who doesn't know who Gordon Brown is!
....and thinks she's middle class, but can't be working class because she hasn't got a job.
Hasn't a clue, why?
Hey same here !!
He was rude to people he'd decided in advance he wasn't going to like, and thought those girls from S. London, were delightful young ladies.
He couldn't understand why the one who hit a teacher couldn't get a job.
He also seemed to be totally out of touch with what went on in the working class.
He wasn't made deputy prime minister because of ability, it's because Tony wanted to throw a sop to old Labour.
What an odious man !
Those slappers were awful though
I don't know about his wife, she's a bit 'Old School' working class, if people come round it's best china and put on a front, best behaviour, mind your P's and Q's.
The Dinner at the Lord's house would have been interesting if they's showed more of it.
Oh dear those 3 girls, that was painful.
That's why I don't watch voxpops or reality talent shows, the embarassment is just too much.
'My dad votes for them, don't know what they're called now, the BNP's'
She had something about her, even if she was saying the right things for the cameras, she must be intelligent to know what to say.
The other two, I don't know, overwhelmed possibly.
Those 2 upper class guys didn't get the point or John didn't quite spell it out to them.
Go to the right School and your CV goes to the top of the pile and you'll get an interview, birds of a feather flock together.
I'd like to know why the Army is paying for an Officers child to go to private school, can't remember if it was 3/4 or a 1/3 that the army was paying for.
Programme made it clear that no one knows what the distinction in class should be although Presott seems to think there's a distinction

Just to put the record straight, which the BBC should have done, the boarding school allowance is not only paid to officers. My daughter qualified for this money and her dad is not an officer.
"BSA is provided to enable the children of Service Personnel to have continuity of education that would otherwise be denied in the State sector because of the need to accompany the Service parent on postings at home and abroad
Eligibility
Parents – Basic eligibility is that Service personnel must be serving married accompanied, and not within 12 months of discharge or, in the case of separated, divorced or widowed personnel, have care and control of the children.
Children – Basic eligibility is that the child must be between the ages of 8 and 18 and undergoing full time education at a Boarding School included on the MOD’s Accredited Schools Database. "
Did you have a bit of a think before posting that? No, thought not. Army. Move around the world a lot. Would you move your child's school according to world war movements? No. Be realistic. It's not a gravy train, the Army, it's bloody hard work. watch the chip on your shoulder doesn't unbalance you.
Not comfortable in himself of uncomfortable in the place where he's ended up working?
Fish out of water who thinks everyone 'above' him is looking down on him and having sly digs.
Well class is subjective isn't it?
As with anything not everyone is going to agree on the definition, even more so when it comes to categorising people.
I certainly wouldn't have put that girl in the middle class bracket.
I presume her parents are still putting money in her pocket, as she said she wasn't poor and she doesn't NEED to work, so why wouldn't she consider herself middle class?
It's alright another FM as clarified the position.
Maybe you could have tried doing the same.
Yup, I'm the one with the chip on my shoulder. :rolleyes:
I have always liked Pauline Prescott (sort of know her through my dad and step mum - I am such a shamless name dropper
She's actually a really lovely woman, believe it or not.
Those girls were AWFUL though. "He'll be wondering why he has a black eye in a minute". *shudders*
Well, he is 70!
he manages to get Nike stuff for his kids though
Yeah. What a great example!
Can't think of any brand-name clothes my kids have other than Umbro T-Shirts and that was because they were on offer, cheaper than non-brands.
He thinks he has intellect.
He shouts over anyone who disagrees with him.
so much more.....
Strange. I actually thought we were actually seeing a good side to him, and could see where he was coming from.
