Did he have anything to say on whether the working spirit has definitely been lost or not? I suppose it's easy to say (as did Norman Tebbit and co.) that back in "the old days" even when out of work you wouldn't lose your dignity or eagerness to work; very easy to say when you've never been working class. But knowing some clear cases myself personally of people whose only ambition in life seems to be staying out of work, I do wonder what role models it holds up for the next generation ....Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-41932482792918529112013-08-24T17:06:44.231+01:002013-08-24T17:06:44.231+01:00Interesting response Brian.

You raise some pertinent questions - similar ones were recently addressed by Paul O'Grady as he investigated the condition of the working class for the BBC.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-29495492594947826642013-08-24T09:20:56.939+01:002013-08-24T09:20:56.939+01:00Barnsley, in August!

You should have called me - just phone the town hall and ask for Mr Cutts .... if you went on the 9th or 10th August though, we wouldn't have met as we were then visiting another Yorkshire wonder, Staithes.<br />So, back to Barnsley, as you may know I'm from there, well actually Hoyland, but obviously have spent many days in the places you mention. What was your impression of the market? It's not what it used to be, apparently. Your description of the town was spot-on, in my opinion - even the market cafe which is probably smoke-less nowadays. I like Barnsley, obviously, and Barnsley folk but ever since say, for example 1984, it's been a downhill slope - closing down sales every week and an ever worsening economic situation. Is Barnsley the only town in the world where the town-centre McDonald's closed down?<br />Not to mention all the other typical chain stores and High Street names.<br />The only thing that saddens me; as you say Barnsley folk are traditionally working class folk, but just how many of them/us have lost the typical working class values of actually wanting to work and wanting to pay your own way or live withing your means? When I say "lost", maybe it's been politically beaten out of them , but even though I don't agree with the right-wing sweeping accusations of everyone living "off the state", I have to admit that I know many people who are unwilling to make a go of it and much prefer to "play the system". How do we go back? How will their children grow up if the parents are currently just trying desperately to stay out of work (not that I'm saying there's much work to be found)?<br />Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-78860304294618897912013-08-12T00:15:42.172+01:002013-08-12T00:15:42.172+01:00LETTICE Not Cawood Castle...but have you ever visi...LETTICE Not Cawood Castle...but have you ever visited Selby Abbey?
