I can't move the dish back because they pushed the dish out of alignment so they could get their ladder in there. The ladder is attached to the scaffolding.

Well, you have a few choices...

1) Man up and go say something
2) Man up and go say something
3) Man up and go say something
or
4) Go to the pub for a few drinks while you have no TV

Its your place. If they have smashed your Window you have a right to say something, also tell them they will be getting the bill for the Sky engineer...
 
I dunno why people call them working class, my cousin who's 25 is a tiler in Canada, makes over 100k a year, owns his own huge house with a pool and a giant garage you could fit a 2 bedroom flat in, owns a cottage in the mountains , car, 2 dirt bikes, a quad bike, s boat, 2 snow mobiles, and yeah.... he owns his own tiling company and he works a lot and he's on his knees most of the day, but working class? Lol, i wouldnt mind being working class.

You bet - without the working class this country would be completely finished.

Of course he is - but why is that a bad thing? There are many rich and succesful working class people! They just get on with things manually rather than sitting in an office..

It's a shame really, back in the 50's and 60's people were proud to be working class - they were the backbone of Britain.

I guess it was a bit different back then, these days people have different idea about class and a lot more people work in office jobs than say manufacturing etc...

Aside from tradesmen perhaps being 'working class' in a society that should, in theory, offer social mobility could be seen as being a low achiever.

Some people will proudly claim to be 'working class' with a sort of reverse-snobbery type attitude despite working in a very white collar job. Apparently a decent % of bank managers consider themselves to be 'working class'.

I guess other people are using it to refer to people living on council estates/audience of the Jeremy Kyle show etc..

I work in an office, so clearly what you think I meant isn't what I actually meant.

Then please explain because the way I read it was if you work in an office your not as good as those who don't...

May totally have the wrong end of the stick and sorry if I have but thats how I see it...

Doesnt matter where you work or what job you do, providing its an honest living and you are working it should matter...

I honestly can't be bothered, everyone else could see what I mean't. You've even grasped it in your last paragraph.

If I were you I'd continue to think I meant everyone who works in an office, like, say, an accountant, is less worthy than anyone who works manually :rolleyes:
