Strange as it now seems to us 21st century folk but people used to
"know their place". My Husbands step father was born in 1918 and was
really into the class system. When said Hubby went to university, his
step Dad thought he was getting above his station and told him so quite
often. The monarchy was seen as the idyll. When the then king abdicated in
the 1930's it was kept quiet for days in Britain although the rest of the
world knew about it. Today it is so different and there is much more of a
"you can be what you want to be attitude". Although in certain circles
"a breeding" still counts for something" attitude still prevails!!! alas.
