Answer 2

Yup

Called blue collar or working class. Nothing to be ashamed of, so be broud *lol* (proud) - Least he's not collecting from the gov't like some lazy mugs.

Blue collar work may be skilled or unskilled, and may involve factory work, building and construction trades, law enforcement, mechanical work, maintenance or technical installations. The white-collar worker, by contrast, performs non-manual labor often in an office; and the service industry worker performs non-manual labor involving customer interaction, entertainment, retail sales, and the like.

Jimmy Nail - Big River Lyrics
Walking on cobble stone, little bits of skin and bone
Jumping on the tram car for a ride
I can remember then, i was just a boy of ten
Hanging out along the old quayside
Not all the capstans and the cargo boats
And stevadores are gone
To where all the old ships go
But memories just like the seas live on

That was when coal was king,
The river a living thing
And i was just a boy, but it was mine,
The coaly tyne

This was a big river,
I want you all to know that i was proud
This was a big river, but that was long ago,
That's not now, that's not now

My fther was a working man,
He earned our living with his hands
He had to cross the river every day
He picked up a union card out of the neptune yard
Mouths to feed and the bills to pay
Then came a time for him to sail across the sea
And far away
Finally when the war was won
You brought him home and home he stayed

And when his days were done, under a golden sun
You carried him to where he longed to be,
Back to the sea

This was a big river,
I want you all to know that i was proud
This was a big river, but that was long ago,
That's not now

The neptune was the last to go,
I heard it on my radio
And then they played the latest number one
But what do they do all day?
And what are they supposed to say?
What does a father tell his son?
If you you believed that there's a bond between our future
And our past
Then try to hold on to what we had,
We build them strong, we built to last

'cause this is a mighty town,
It's built upon solid ground
And everything they tried so hard to kill,
We will rebuild

This was a big river
I want you all to know that i was proud
This was a big river, but that was long ago,
That's not now
This is a big river,
And in my heart i know it will rise again
The river will rise again

Answer 3

Well I'm not sure what BROUD is. But you have every reason to be proud of your father for making an honest living.

Answer 4

Broud? Obviously you meant "proud" but how is it that people don't read what they typed before submitting it?? Bad spelling is nothing to be broud of.

Answer 5

Broud, no. Be proud if you want though.

Answer 6

wats a Broud?

Answer 7

Yes, you can be broud. And I am brappy for you.

Answer 8

Why wouldnt you be proud? Your father didnt grow up in the computer generation. Some men dont like crunching numbers, filing paperwork, and sitting in a cubicle, and there is nothing wrong with using your hands and doing real work. Your question is a little unclear, but I think you are saying he probably did labor. Who cares what he did, if he got a little dirty, or whatever? As long as he kept food on the table, his work was fine. Also I dont believe we should base our pride and respect for someone on their salary or feild. Other things like loving your children are much much more important.

Answer 9

Proud...yeah. Broud...I don't know!

Answer 10

It's ok to be broud if you're in the 2nd grage.
