Happy Face 29 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm only messing. I would just have been terrified of you really. I once got sweaty bettied on the metro by a "tough boy". He must have chewed a whole five rider up - there was loads of it - and flung it at me as he was jumping off at Bede. Splashed all over me Barbour. I wish I was joking. I feared for my life every single day I walked to/from school to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I think of Parky as Dicky Greenleaf on the Talented Mr Ripley. Funnily enough I always find myself rooting for Ripley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Swish. That's true of 99% of people in South Shields though...people from Ashgrove Avenue could feel superior when they walked through Horsely Hill.My dad was born on Ashgrove Avenue Stanhope Road representin' for me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true of 99% of people in South Shields though...people from Ashgrove Avenue could feel superior when they walked through Horsely Hill. Shields has just been voted as one of the ten most deprived coastal towns in the UK I've worked South Tyneside for 2 years now and can safely say there's not many posh folk from around these parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm not sure what class I am really? My mam stacked shelves in Presto's and my dad was a student nurse on peanuts when I was born. They earn about £70k pa each now, which in the NHS is good going. Me and the wife are both nurses and live in a 2 up/2 down. We live payday to payday so I suppose we fall into working class, although we aren't hard up by any means.

Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Possibly, this Presto's was in CLS though. It's been a Netto, wallpaper shop and Heron frozen foods since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Do you have any of these first-world problems? The study was carried out among 2,000 adults aged between the ages of 18 and 65. All were asked to name their own 'first world problems', and mark a subsequent list of the top 75.

Gemmill 34161 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Not posh enough. Which given the responses above is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3956 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well I'm not posh enough but I have a job in the City. I think it works differently for skilled/experienced/techy jobs but even in a pretty laid back/diverse company like the one I work for, I can see the traits suggested in the graduate hiring programme.
