    I run a small plumbing and heating company just north of London, at the moment we genuinely have a plumbing and heating guy called Sebastian. We call him Seb so as no to frighten the client base. Honestly one of our best guys.

      He's great when he goes on '8 out of 10 cats does countdown', he takes the jokes against him like a champ and even does a few good self-depreciation jokes

    I once met a guy named Thadeus! Thadeus! How badass is that! But no, he wanted to be called Thad instead. To be fair, he turned out to be a loser.

      This is what is known as 'the quota system,' it accounts for why Rob is never booked at the same time as Geoff Norcott. I'm not saying that they're not funny, they both are, but the BBC only has two of them (They can't afford Micky Flanagan) so they need to make them go around.

      ​@@owenhall5742 if you get paid a six figure salary you ain't working class. If you make more than a surgeon your upper class.
      Is Tom Cruise working class? He works for a living too

    • @owenhall5742
      @owenhall5742 Год назад

      @Nifralo no, he is not working class, as he part owns C/W productions at a net worth of 2.9 billion dollars
      When he is working for his money, he is working class, so when he is hired to play a role, yes, that is part of the working class
      When he is owning things for his money, owning a production company hiring others to do the work and taking the surplus labour as his profit, that is part of the owning class
      You work for your living? Congrats on being working class
      You own things for your living? Congrats on not being working class
      Does Rob beckett work for his living? yes, he is a stand-up comedian, so working class
      Lots of people make more than surgeons, lawyers are still working class, air traffic controllers are still working class
      Heck, even some youtubers or Twitch streamers earn more. Do they work to make their money? Yes, so are working class
      Put another way, if all workers disappeared, what would happen to the owners who were left? They would have to go do the work they employed someone else to do, so they become working class. If all owners disappeared, the world would carry on as normal, the work that needs to be done, being done by the people who are doing the work, the working class, be that cleaners, binmen, surgeon, lawyers, entertainers, actors or stand-up comedians
