My father was not middle class either , he came from utter poverty where his mother worked three jobs to survive nothing more , his father died when he was a small boy and evacuated several times . So nonmiddle class or rose tinted glasses here sonny just the truth but thats out of fashion these days .
No they didnt, 60s start of the rot .
Is not the truth though is it? Women always worked, mortgages were irrelevant for most people.
They worked lomger and harder to pay mortgages when their wages were taken into consideration.
All that stuff about women staying home and raising kids isn't really the case though is it? In both my parents cases they let themselves in after school because both parents were at work, sometimes made dinner too.
and everybody was shouting at them, for not getting the ppe, so created a mad dash, to get some, when many countries were trying as well. A lot of money was made during covid, and all guvs were chasing it, so mistakes were made. What we didn't hear, is why it wasn't suitable, before to much criticism, would like the answer, might be jobsworths civil servants, being exact, rather than a degree of flexibility.
I was the last year in school where ,boys did woodwork and metalwork and girls sewing and cooking. I was never taught to cook, however when I got divorced I was forced to learn, and when I grew up my family always cooked from scratch (and usually from the garden where possible), so I was surprised at how much I had just absorbed from them. Always fresh fish on Wed (market day), roast or casserole on a Sunday etc. I think the problem isn't the mechanics of cooking, it is learning the attitude of being able to cook from ingredients rather than a packet that we as a country have lost.
The country has a problem too, with too few children being born, maybe we need to applaud the single mothers with lots of children! Just make sure they grow up to be good members of society.
Awesome, so we are prepared to straw-clutch to attempt to justify the utter incompetence of 9.9billion pounds of waste, but a fraction of that on migrants is entirely wrong.
I was taught because my (feminist) mother did not want to see a generation of boys like my dad's generation, who largely appear to be able to do little more than fry an egg. They both worked and she felt they should therefore both contribute to the daily chores.
didn't say l approved, making the point, everybody was shouting at guv, to get it, they did, but would like to know why, it failed, lot of talk, about c/servants being over zealous. Cannot see how ppe, could fail, in an emergency.
Because it was some shite, not up to spec stuff that one of their mates bought cheap without checking and thought they'd shift for a few billion. It's called cronyism.
It is true.
