Working class (brought up in a mining village), now nouveau riche through entrepreneurial graft. I still call a spade a spade and dont suffer fools lightly. I mix with all classes and really don't care about finicial status where all only human at the end of the day.

Upper class here.
Im from Cowdenbeath and one simply has to be posh to live there. Lots of inbreeding, but one doesnt care. Ones genes are above that kind of thing.
Champers for breakfast, anyone?

Silver spoon country.... LOL.. thats about right.
Lol... my mum was born near beath. Silver spoon country
Grant, my Dad was born/brought up in Kelty. (born 1932) Grandad was down the pit there. I probably still have relatives there.
Actually, you and I are probably related, what with us posh folks interbreeding......
My mum was born in Lochgelly, but went to Beath High school. Well posh. She may well have been at school with your Mum. My mum born 1935.
you may be getting a feeling now for my social class.

Nah, class is an English/Foreign thing. Scots have always been more interested in a person's achievments rather than their birth.

It was around lochgelly, Cowdenbeath my mum and hers came from. She was born 1920 and left for up north in about 1934. Granny was a Penman.. a few of them in the area. Mum walked 6 miles to school as a kid and same back in all weathers as even if there was a bus, and there usually wasnt, they couldnt afford the fare lol. Hardctimes....we know nowt about hard times i reckon.

Grant

Grant, the name Penman is in my family too, the Kelty side.
I think it was my grannies side too, I think, but will try to find out.
You could be my long lost relative. The one who got all the Penman millions. Im your long lost cousin. How lucky for both of us! I'll PM my Bank details.
