I have been seeing forum replies where people have been absolutely nasty about the prospects of people without a second upper or first class honours.

Would just want to know what is the real world situation really like out there

It really depends of what kind of roles you are and what are your other involvements? If you simply have a 3rd class degree to back you up during your interviews without any CCA or external relevant activities to back you up, you can expect that it won't look very nice on your resume.

For example, 2 3rd class degree holders went for an interview, one only waste his time drinking and play console games everyday, the other is an active sportsman who did freelance sales and outdoor work. You can imagine who will be the better candidate in the interviewer's eyes.
