I don't look back with rosé tinted glasses. I much prefer today's society and technology.

I went to college, and university ( for which I received a full grant - thanks Mrs T)

I've never been out of work for 23 years, my wife also works full time.

We have a nice house, nice cars and a nice lifestyle. But we work for it. So we're still 'working class'.

Labour and unions would have you think that 'working class' are all on benefits and live on sink estates in deprived areas.

They're not working class, the clue is in the title.
