Other famous public schoolboys that have run this country since the war


Atlee

Blair


Actual working class PMs


Major



Female PMs


Thatcher


Our choice this election was for a bunch of upper class toffs or a bunch of Middle class Public Sector union member teachers if we want stereotypes


The class hatred stuff is even getting on my nerves now......It's actually a bit pathetic and shows that we as a country need to 'move on' as Jeremy Kyle might say

I don't think you could call Thatcher 'working class'


Her Dad owned two grocery shops - so he was an employer and investor, an absentee landlord, not a prole. A filthy capitalist opressing the downtrodden workers no less.


She went to a Girl's Grammar, to Somerville at Oxford, and was a trained barrister.


In fact, about as far from 'working class' as you can get without a title.


And Blair did a great job ;-)

First Comedienne to come out with a decent knob gag about a hung parliament should win a place in the cabinet.


Between the Wedgwood ashtray and the Royal Wedding commemorative plate.

I assure you that the good people a Royal Doulton did everything in their power to ensure that all points along the border of the plate are equidistant from its centre.


Its potential as a vessel for jus has never been tested. And alas it seems it will remain untested, being as it is now covered in a film of engrained dust originating from the early 1980s. Dust which no doubt* flaked off the skin of punk rock anarchist as they metamorphosed into smarmy yuppies over the earlier years of that bemulleted decade.



*Not to be confused with the Californian Ska band who found fame in the early 1990s because of their super hot singer.

Any Woman leader will instantly be compared with Thatcher such is the media and no party will want such a negative stereotype as it's figurehead when it is seeking election to government.

Brum, you are clearly not posh enough by a long way. What Dave actually said:


One feels able, on balance, to give a positive indication of how one is minded to respond when dealing with the enquiry as to whether or not one can, in fact, as it were, in the vernacular, ahem, "fix it".

    • hah ha! On the subject of dodgy keys and also police protocol with stolen cars, my first car was a 1969 mini which you could open and start by wiggling a small flat-headed screwdriver. No wonder it was stolen. About a week later the police called to say they'd spotted it on the Dog Kennel Hill estate opposite East Dulwich station. In those days parking was free so at least I didn't receive any tickets, but I surprised the police just left a message with the address and expected me to go and pick it up. I was slightly worried I'd have to tackle the culprits myself when I arrived.
    • Great pub, great deals and great service! Food is second to none Highly recommend 👌
    • This thread is brilliant! I am glad it has a happy ending. The reference to the Punto keys reminds of the days of when you could "jiggle a lock" with a similar car key and I speak from painful memory as a kid I managed to lock the keys in our car whilst on a camping holiday in Spain. My mum and dad didn't speak much Spanish and much hilarity ensued (post event) as they tried to communicate to the driver of a similar make and model of car as to why they had flagged him down and were trying to get him to lend him the key from his ignition! 
    • I highly recommend my painter and decorator Sean. I have used him for over 25years. He is reliable and charges a reasonable price.  you can contact him on 07572 779608
