As a scaffolder by trade I would be inclined to feel totally insulted to be compared to the Jeremy Kyle brigade.
Maybe we should put them into a new official category, i.e.
THE "LOW CLASS?"

They are referred to as underclass these days. I.e. the Jeremy Kyle possie.
Classes are as follow.
Upper
Upper middle
Middle
Working
Working poor
Under.

Google it, it's on Wikipedia.

I wouldn't consider myself a proletariat but I am part of the toiling masses. I do remember a way to tell what class you were in and it was more to do with dinner habits. They reckoned you were working class if you sat down to tea in your working togs and upper if you dressed for dinner. We all know things are a bit more complicated now more than ever, but the term working class will do for me nicely.

I still think, the volvo driving pringle wearing middle class golf club captain with little or no chin should be watched though. ;)

There's no way scaffs can be middle class unless they own a company or work in London lol. Professionals I.e accountants, lawyers, doctors etc are on a good wack. 50k+ is what ur aiming for. It's also a lot to do with lifestyle I guess. Us scaffs are like the old quary men, steel workers, coal pit possie. Work hard n pay ur taxes. I bet a few even fall into working poor in the more deprived areas but not underclass.
 
A good few scaffs prob do earn £50k a year infact some prob clear that so pos 70k a year before tax ( know a couple that clear around the £1k mark per week) I would certainly respect them a lot more (and not just because I'm a scaffolder myself) that the ***** in canary wharf/city that earn £20k a year but wear a whistle and work in the same office as someone that earns £100k a year that think their middle class

In london yes but the rest of the uk especially the north 25k is a good wage.
 
So I guess scaffolding isn't such a bad career move after all, the only down side for me is the long gevity. How long can u keep going at it, it's a hard game.
 
It is a hard game Woodsie although there are plenty at it well into their retirement. For me, you start going downhill once you are in your 40's and you have to try and do a bit more with your brain to make up the shortfall.
