Re vinegars above. Just my badly worded post. I meant we have three or four different balsamics. But yes they are all vinegar.

… is it Polo by any chance?

Funny you should ask, as the Guards Polo Club is three three miles from the house and we do occasionally go and watch with the dog during walks in the Great Park. Actually it's cycling and cricket (me obvs.) and Rugby and F1 (Mrs TiRed), with the occasional football match.

I definitely grew up working class, council house, stay at home mam, dad worked in the factory (office based though), Grange Hill was totally fine.

Now I'm not totally sure. Work shifts in a factory, nice detached house in the country, two wood burners, drive a ten year old RAV4, I like swearing, will never vote Tory.

I feel I'm working class but I'm not totally convinced. Is upper working class a thing?

We have a horse but don't have land so we have to pay to keep him in a local stables.  A young colleague of mine was boasting that himself and the missus just bought a king size bed and when I told him we had a super king bed he was stunned 🙂

I came from working class parents but according to the BBC link on page one I am Established Middle class, little did it know I'm Irish or it might have marked me down the rankings!

5pm is teatime, between 12.30 and 1.30 is dennertime or dinnertime below Hadrian's wall

Anyone who calls lunchtime at early afternoon and dinnertime is 7.30pm is middleclass

I came up as established middle class but I’m not sure. Definitely don’t speak RP (estuary or Luton english), child of a fruit delivery man later store finance salesman (granted my old man was bloody good at it and made good £££) and sandwich delivery van owner. Like cans of Stella over red wine at dinner, but top 10% earner. Homeowners and good savings.

Which part of that makes you middle class? You'd fit in well in the rough working class area that I grew up in with that background.
