The thread on class got me thinking, I hate to define anyone by class, I think you should judge by behaviour.
Last year we took our granddaughter to a local beach, we were so lucky it was a hot day and very few people around.
Once we had set up camp and got settled two heavily tattooed women with numerous plastic bags arrived with 4 children and a Staffordshire terrier.
We were all ready to move bit decided it would be too obvious.
We observed the two women interact with the children so well, they organised games and competitions, they took it in turns to supervise the children in the sea, no mobile phones were out!
Their lovely children asked if our granddaughter wanted to use some of their buckets ( COVID prevented them playing together)
It was such a joy to observe.
I felt totally ashamed as I had expected loutish behaviour.
If I had to choose.....just one day
