Quote lefty goldblatt="lefty goldblatt"I too, am Bewsey born and bred Mikej (but don't put myself down as any sort of class, as the majority that do, always have a problem with their polar opposite), and knew a lot of people who got off their ar53s and bettered themselves, and good for them. BUT, I also knew of plenty more, who wont work and never will, in trouble with the law, and generally sponging off the state (see the Guardian on a Thursday to see where the troublemakers come from, but then again, I'm generalising).
And yes, I do see your other point about some people being born into money and are lazy/obnoxious (but there ain't that many). The vast majority of people who live in affluent areas of this town, have got where they are through bettering themselves. If they where that "snobbish" (for want of a better word), they wouldn't be living in Warrington, would they. They'd have jumped ship to Altrincham, Alderley Edge etc.
Too many times on here, I've read "oh people from Stocky Heath/Appleton/Grapp, they're ******* snobs cos they've got ******* money, ****** *******", and it makes my pooh itch
Oh, and for the record
Born and bred in Bewsey
Then lived in what's termed as Latchford/Wilderspool
and now living in Padgate,
so I'm hardly Little Lord Fauntleroy'"
You want to see the reaction i get when i say i live in London, been here a decade now so my accent isn't as strong and because of this i actually get grief, so much so that i actually go more northern than i ever was when i'm up now, overcompensating.
I wouldn't mind but half of London makes Bewsey look upmarket.
