Wasn't the real reason he was made to abdicate because of his political leanings, we couldn't have a king who was siding with the enemy could we?

Here's the thing: If you want a well-paid career you have to start early and plan. It's no good dicking around while you're at school, leaving with few qualifications, having a couple of kids, doing unskilled jobs, gain a degree in at forty and expect it to get you a job when there are women twenty years younger than you with the same degree... and then moan because you don't earn as much as other people. I barely looked up from my books until I was half way through uni; I missed out on a lot of stuff... but now, I have a great job, good salary, amazing benefits and enormous job satisfaction. And funnily enough I don't think the world owes me a living and I have no problem with people spending their own money however they want. |

That's a very unusual slant. Most people believe it was because Wallace Simpson was a divorcee... but I'd be really interested to see your evidence.

That was 1936 and the war was still in the future. At that time, Germany was not seen as an enemy, that came later after 1939 and the invasion of Poland.

I'm presuming that's what the mockery was for , as a distraction from the nonsense that was your earlier post? Instead of sniping at my personal circumstances why not look at the bigger picture here, I'm not going to blow smoke up your arse Livia we have all heard tell of your scholarship to oxbridge... in reality who get's those privileges and in what capacity were you supported in facilitating that chance? I know you would dearly love to think that it was ALL you but in fact there was a whole host of variables at play aside from your intellect, I'm not saying for a second anyone could have achieved what you have in fact the opposite your situation is as I'm sure you're aware phenomenally rare and getting rarer. What are the life choices for intelligent children from working class backgrounds? they were never great and now they are terrible and getting worse. The crux of this post is as flawed as the last, you infer that others on less don't have job satisfaction, or that they feel that 'the world' owes them something, making smug comments like this only serves to show you're complacent to those not as fortunate as yourself. I'm I surprised? Not really. Did I expect you to understand my point in relation to this dress as a metaphor?... No.

I was an intelligent child from a working class background. And please, don't feel you have to acknowledge the hard work and sacrifices I made to get to Cambridge, and the money it cost my working class parents. You just imagine that I slipped in quietly. I worked three jobs while I was at uni. And you know, I wasn't the only one. There were other people there who were from working class backgrounds and the one thing we all had in common was that we worked hard to get where we were. Fortunate, yes... that's me. The harder I work the more fortunate I get. Funny how that works. And Kizzy, I wasn't sniping and being personal. Everything I stated was a fact. When you first joined the forum you were unemployed, and you stayed unemployed for years. Is that not true? And now, after leaving school with not much, and after having a couple of kids and not doing your degree until you were older, you're dissatisfied with your job. And more, you think you can belittle my achievements by imagining I had some kind of fairy Godmother... but I didn't. You have this whole "kill the rich" thing about your posts, because if someone's doing better than you then they MUST have had a hand up and a hand out. But you're wrong. |

I'm dissatisfied with my salary, not my job... I haven't belittled your achievements at all, what I did was highlight how lucky you were even given your ability to succeed, there's a difference. I don't have a 'kill the rich' thing :/ That is a gross misinterpretation! All I have suggested is personally I don't feel that given the current economic climate for most in the UK wearing such an expensive gown was appropriate... That's it. I don't have any ill will towards her or anyone else it was just that one instance and my own personal reaction to it, your analysis is unwarranted and baseless much like your previous posts in this thread.

She's damned if she does and she's damned if she doesn't.

What she wears for me is irrelevant to my earlier arguments over her lack of suitability for marrying a member of the Royal Family.

She's not damned either way, it's just a very striking contrast is all, there's noting wrong with highlighting that.

Well luckily for you nobody is charging round the forum assessing the merit of each post.

Yes I did go into education late but that was for me, and my self esteem rather than financial gain. I'm sorry you missed out on so much, you're not bitter though, are you. Read today how you have an issue with an actress designing clothes and how you won't buy them, whereas I have no such qualms with her career decision or the fact that's how she chooses to make money for her family. Maybe you should apply the same principls to how people make money as you do to how they spend it?
