My Dad was prepared to work his socks off, and whilst coming from humble beginnings, we did quite well, and he passed the `always do your best' work ethic to my siblings and 1.
But the point that brought the attitudinal differences home to me, was school. It was nothing special just a secondary modern, and I was a long, long way off being the sharpest tool in the box even there.
Some other kids there took the p*ss out of me for always trying to work hard and do my best, and the ones who did this most, were the, have a fag around the bike sheds when and they should have been in class, I already know it all, school is just crap, kids, who came from council houses with vote labour placards on them.
Some years later I saw one of these individuals who had been particularly mocking and nasty standing at a bus stop, whilst I drove past him in my new sports car! that I had worked hard and saved for.
We both recognised each other, and he looked a bit embarrassed and immediately turned away.
He had been given exactly the same schooling as me, and in all probability was much brighter, but brought down by what I refer to as the `council house mentality' that is the key difference between
those who support the left and the right, and I have seen nothing which leads me to change that view.

Is it possible one day you might post something and not come across as a complete knob?

Can't afford the shabby-chic country cottage he desires, so buys a box on a soulless estate then sneers at those for whom this is actually something to aspire to.
Had to make do with a crappy comprehensive education, thinks he would have done so much better in life if he'd only had the chances, so sneers at those who did get them.
Can't afford the new car so sneers at those who do so on credit, while trying to maintain the facade that he'd rather drive a shagged out Volvo.
Can't improve his lifestyle because for some reason, the people he works for just won't promote a sneering, smart-arsed inverse-snob as he upsets his colleagues, so he sneers at those who can and do.
Is stuck, doing the same soul-destroying s
t until he retires or dies. All he has left to console him is the unswerving belief that he's got it right, and everyone else is wrong - all that's needed is for people to be more like him and the world would be a nicer place.
PPS The ones who took the p*ss out of me and others at school, who wanted to work hard and get as far as they could in life with whatever fate had given them, are also the ones who despise and envy the success of anyone who wants to work hard, and do the best they can for themselves. e.g. a typical labour supporter.

I have always found that success is the very best form or revenge. Even if the person you are seeking revenge against has no idea, you can still feel warm and fluffy as you drive past their rented stbox with mattress and rotting car combo in your car of choice (not necessity) and muse "Which one of us is the now?"andymadmak said:

Thank you for making my point much better than I could, It does not matter where a person starts off,
I wanted to emphasize that even though we came from a humble background, (and unlike you and your brother) I was no where near the sharpest tool in the box, the work ethic my Dad gave me, and my siblings was enough to give us a good standard of life in a country like the UK.
The left would have us believe that the only ones who can get a good standard of education / life are the rich, (and even that is handed to them on a silver platter)
But then recognising truth and reality has always been a bit of a problem for some bitter, green with envy lefties (even if they were blessed with some intelligence)

I'm also far too grandiose and intellectually aloof to be drawn into some kind of cock waving judgmental internet symposium of stupidity. My parents, who were from what Pan Pan Pan calls a 'council house mentality' taught me that there's always some bell end on the internet who needs his self esteem fluffing.

But regardless of intelligence, and luck, going into a job, trade or business that does not pay
an adequate wage does not seem to be well ... intelligent.
A person pushing a broom around a company yard, cannot expect to be paid anywhere near what the CEO of the company is paid. But if that person wants more they should be prepared to study and work towards improving their lot, if they cannot do this, then pushing the broom would seem to be their place in the scheme of things.

"Sell us a book on revolution.. ..and then tell us to vote Labour"
Thought that was rather telling. Buying a book on revolution, written by a trendy millionaire.
Anyway, all this ste about politicians - they've simply acting on the civil servants telling them there's no money left and the credit card's max'd out.
Oh, and VIP area... Sweet baby cheeses.

Non of us will ever truly fathom the internet, we can go to dinner parties and have a decent conversation about whether Nelson Mandela is a terrorist or a freedom fighter with everyone kissing at the end of the night and going home but come onto what is ostensibly a car forum and the need to prove the other person so retarded they don't even understand the actual argument is amazing...
There are no winners....Just people spending way too much time on the internet having arguments they can't hope to enjoy, invariably resorting to and grammar or use of iambic pentameters or suchlike..
Let's assume Martin Amis or Noam Chomsky is not on Pistonheads, although if they were it would take no time at all before people told them what a wkers they are so just stick to the thread or don't rise to it...Or get a pub quiz machine in your living room and play that at night instead, easier to impress the wife when those pound coins come rolling out too.
So being bright on the internet makes you look more stupid...There is a thread running on the Porshe forum at the moment that has digressed into the viability and timeline for self driving cars and it's the only thread I can remember reading recently where you see it taking a massive diversion where the bystanders are still learning something and enjoing the 'debate'
Serious question though, what is she so cross about?

I am not saying that `everyone' can be a company director, in the same way that not everyone can be a fighter pilot or a skilled surgeon. Doing these types of jobs requires a specific level of intelligence, and other skill sets. But such intelligence and skills sets are not the sole pre
serve of the `rich' that the socialists bleat on about all the time. A person from a poor background
can have these attributes and still make a success of themselves.
My Dad was prepared to work his socks off, and whilst coming from humble beginnings, we did quite well, and he passed the `always do your best' work ethic to my siblings and 1.
But the point that brought the attitudinal differences home to me, was school. It was nothing special just a secondary modern, and I was a long, long way off being the sharpest tool in the box even there.
Some other kids there took the p*ss out of me for always trying to work hard and do my best, and the ones who did this most, were the, have a fag around the bike sheds when and they should have been in class, I already know it all, school is just crap, kids, who came from council houses with vote labour placards on them.
Some years later I saw one of these individuals who had been particularly mocking and nasty standing at a bus stop, whilst I drove past him in my new sports car! that I had worked hard and saved for.
We both recognised each other, and he looked a bit embarrassed and immediately turned away.
He had been given exactly the same schooling as me, and in all probability was much brighter, but brought down by what I refer to as the `council house mentality' that is the key difference between
those who support the left and the right, and I have seen nothing which leads me to change that view.
Apologies for prematurely sent off post.

Can't afford the shabby-chic country cottage he desires, so buys a box on a soulless estate then sneers at those for whom this is actually something to aspire to.
Had to make do with a crappy comprehensive education, thinks he would have done so much better in life if he'd only had the chances, so sneers at those who did get them.
Can't afford the new car so sneers at those who do so on credit, while trying to maintain the facade that he'd rather drive a shagged out Volvo.
Can't improve his lifestyle because for some reason, the people he works for just won't promote a sneering, smart-arsed inverse-snob as he upsets his colleagues, so he sneers at those who can and do.
Is stuck, doing the same soul-destroying s
t until he retires or dies. All he has left to console him is the unswerving belief that he's got it right, and everyone else is wrong - all that's needed is for people to be more like him and the world would be a nicer place.
I'm also far too grandiose and intellectually aloof to be drawn into some kind of cock waving judgmental internet symposium of stupidity. My parents, who were from what Pan Pan Pan calls a 'council house mentality' taught me that there's always some bell end on the internet who needs his self esteem fluffing.
are you nit. Pan x3 example was I suspect one many on here could give eg self made nothing wrong with that also nothing wrong with an individual feeling smug when they see they have become more sucessful than people who mocked an bullied them. He was not sating every time he sees people at the bus stop he feels superior more he felt vindicated when seeing a former tournamentor dragging their arse to the bus stop. Your other atestation re hos life style are just bullst an you know it. Personally on he rare occasions I see folk from school who were cruel etc (I have a face for radio and was not a hit with the ladies ) and thru tell me how well they are doing or not I am happy for them I tend not to go into detail about my life simply they don't want to know and suits me they wish to still feel superior bit like I do when I turn left on the plane.
