I'm just awaiting the first "you're outrageous snobs" comment from disgustedof..?

Wasn't there a security guard at the gates? I despair of this country sometimes.

MissChief · 30/03/2006 13:06

sorry, obviously that should have been
"your"

No it would be your, they have no edukashun.

oliveoil · 30/03/2006 13:07

you're

ahem

tamum · 30/03/2006 13:08

Please, not nhsdirect, it will take too long. Straight to A and E. Really. He may need shots.

littlemissbossy · 30/03/2006 13:09

why don't you have him adopted?

zippitippitoes · 30/03/2006 13:09

he'll need counselling that's for sure

Rojak · 30/03/2006 13:09

I think you'd need to consider moving to another area if "these types" hang out at your local public park

WideWebWitch · 30/03/2006 13:10

Are yu sure he was working class? It may not be as bad as you think, he might just be a bit grubby.

WideWebWitch · 30/03/2006 13:11

But if he definitely was you need to get off mumsnet and go straight to A&E.

tamum · 30/03/2006 13:11

If the adoption idea doesn't work (excellent thought though, lmb) perhaps there's some kind of quarantine kennels you could try?

CountessDracula · 30/03/2006 13:11

you're akshully

has this thing kicked off yet?

CountessDracula · 30/03/2006 13:12

Also some very posh people have scruffy kids

MissChief · 30/03/2006 13:12

you could also consider moving to a gated community to avoid such contact in future?

jmum6 · 30/03/2006 13:17

ff just armour your son with antibac gel and wipes to use immediately if such an accident should happen in the future.

Honestly women - did you not prepare your son in advance for such an oocurance?

:o

MissChief · 30/03/2006 13:17

hmph (just to point out I have edukashun and never ever confuse your/you're unless in typo land! Admit that it was a rather feeble joke though Grin and rather unpc as it indicated that working class =uneducated.. )

mumfor1standfinaltime · 30/03/2006 13:18

Are you sure he was infact 'working class' or was he from a 'dole scrounging' parents? Their is a great deal of difference you know.

MissChief · 30/03/2006 13:19

God, I used to be a proper Guardian reader too...

oliveoil · 30/03/2006 13:20

but they can also be identical

This will definitely kick off.

Orlando · 30/03/2006 13:20

How very sweet and open-minded of him

You must be so proud.

fairyfly · 30/03/2006 13:21

Just had a home visit from the doctor, gave him a tetanus.

My therapist is here and showing him a set of flash cards to see which he responds to the most.Such as

You might need to notify your gp - just in case!

mumfor1standfinaltime · 30/03/2006 13:23

So hate the label of working class.
To me this means 'someone who works their ass off for a living' and I have a great deal of respect for.
My dad is working class, he has worked since he was 15 and has never claimed dole/benefits. He has just been made redundant at age 58 and cant claim a single penny. I find it insulting. I know this is the reaction which is wanted, but had to vent.
