ME for a start. I have a couple of good gcse's but that is it. I delibebratly failed my a-levels so mum wouldn't have to worry about the costs of university.

However, I am quite well read, articulate and take an interest in the world around me. If I don't know, I will go find out.

I work in a dead end job, and dh and I are trying for our first baby.

It is perfectly possible to be working class, or to have been raised on a council estate and to be intelligent and articulate.

You are talking shite.

I don't believe I said that being raised on a council estate = dumb and inarticulate.

I think so wonder. I live 5 mins from the centre and it can get hairy!
I certainly felt a little safer wondering round Baso than here

Hi walkinZombie
I'm just up the road from you near sunny Barnsley, and I'm not posh either. I had never heard of Boden until I started reading mumsnet.

I remember Baso before festival place - was well rough then! I do have John Lewis envy - have to visit Reading every now and then to get my haberdashery fix.

I am extraordinarily posh, but I don't tell people or make a fuss about it because I want to fit in.
