In her latest column, Catherine Keyl lashes out to her chic Gooise Buren. According to her whole days, they let workmen come on the floor, but forbid them to use the toilet casually.
The expensive villas in the Gooi and the surrounding area do not maintain themselves. In villages where everything must be spic and span and the renovation urge is permanently in the air, professionals are indispensable. From plumber to plasterer: they are hired with bushes. But at the same time their presence sometimes clashes with the views of the residents.
Shed
How necessary all those workmen are, really mix with the household? Rather not. For some residents, that border goes to the smallest room. You can imagine that a worker just uses the toilet. Don’t they have a building site? Or why don’t they go to the gas station? They are much heard apologies.
Hygiene, feelings of class or just a lack of empathy, it is a melting pot of discomfort that the workman is the victim of. And according to Catherine Keyl, this is no longer in her neighborhood.
Class brink
Catherine sees how workers are doing those hours, literally not being able to go anywhere. Not only uncomfortable, but also humiliating. And the reason? Pure Klasekolder, she writes in De Telegraaf.
She BRIES: “I see people who have been visiting workers for whole days and not allowing them to use the toilet (or the toilet?), Because the woman of the house does not want to sit with her chic legs on a hefty where an honest workman was. They think, because they have money, to be able to afford everything.”
Higher environments
They are people who are very ugly towards workmen, says Catherine. “And treat those catering staff as slaves.”
The presenter is ready for it. “I no longer want to belong to those supposedly higher environments.”
Allegedly the trucks in the chic Naarden are already ready. Next stop Tuindorp in Amsterdam-Noord?
