Dunno.. I've been displaced in limbo between working and middle class cultures since I was torn from my council estate environment and bussed to Grammar School for social gentrification...????? .. What that process didn't equip me with was the essential family contacts network, and property inheritances, that could elevate me even anywhere near the higher levels of glass ceilings... If I hadn't passed the 11 plus I might have had my own White Van tradesman business and bought an ex council house on the estate, might even have had a tribe of kids and grandkids, and a staffy bull terrier.. ..instead of ending up a skint unemployable arty farty bolshie non conformist lefty in a dilapidated terraced house in a run down town centre...??? Wot.. me envious I never had an affluent well connected family and public school education... Advantages necessary for a modern career in the British folk music industry...
