'Working Class'
Hope you got to see the brilliant docu of Paul Grady and his look back at the working class.Great to see the old clips and even tho' they worked bloomin' hard, it was the friendships they formed that kept them going, afterall they were all in the same boat.
Hats off to them all, was very proud of the lot of 'em and they 'did' make Britain - Great .....

Re: 'Working Class'
I did watch it but it wasn't any sort of working class I remember. We didn't have the big industries here I guess so my experiences are a bit different. Also although we were working class my gran would never admit it, her superior attitude got us through many a tough time her shear determination to have standards others around us didn't and refusal to be "common" like her next doors LOL

Miss those days and the characters ....
