Here we meet the parents of the 'bright' children, and hear them describing their everyday life in a working-class neighbourhood, their memories of the General Strike, of unemployment, of local Union and Co-op activity; from some we learn of their admiration for the Royal Family, and the Public Schools, and their desire to join the ranks of the middle class".
