Brace yourselves.
I took the harp to be serviced last week.
What do I win?
(Before you ask - no, I don't know what a harp service involves, but it took around 3 hours to complete)
I bought some trousers from Rohan this week?

I think that puts you in an entirely different class. Seraphim perhaps?
You can only approach peak middle class if you have an Aga, Log burner, and a family estate car over 10 years old (Volvo, Passat or Audi) that you just keep for taking the children to Uni. Otherwise your just f***Ing about. OH and your kids need nick names that are not connected to their real names like jemima puddle duck
My wife wears Boden.
The harp service was good but sparkyspice wins this thread - I accidentally clicked on his username and it took me to a Kent hot air ballooning website!

Steady on, I wear Bags to work.

That's not middle class, just old and with no taste!
Bang to rights Guv. Oh today's are red too (well burgundy actually which is more middle class).
My butler goes to Waitrose for my shopping.
Poor you. Can't you afford a housekeeper as well?
I made my own pomegranate molasses as I did not trust the provenance of the items in my local deli
Shoot me now....please
Surely an [url= http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/ikea-family-products/bicycle-bicycle-accessories/sladda-bicycle-grey-art-30326733/ ]Ikea bike[/url] is approaching the top of Mount MiddleClass
EDIT no, no I most definitely don't
The Sunday Times has an ad for a £550 Dyson handheld thing. I am genuinely amazed anyone pays that much for a marginally better dust buster!
Some friends of ours admitted tidying up before the cleaner arrived. 😀

I was in Tesco last week and heard myself call out to the wife 'darling, I think we are out of walnut oil'. I cringed.
'Oi Slag', would have been more in keeping with the surroundings, no?
You've met my wife I see!
Tinners - you get your harp serviced? Ours just sit in the corner of the lounge and the nursery.
BTW - which large estate car for transporting the harp? I suspect the Octavia isn't quite big enough.
I have had someone do my shirt ironing for the last year. And not my wife!
At a gin festival wondering whether the juniper berries are organic.

Akshewally....that's perhaps the most middle class word used on the thread so far. Bravo. 😉
We know aristocracy.
The proper kind, non of yer life Peer nonsense.
16 year old, very scruffy Audi, btw.
I make self-conscious jokes on singletrack.
As a child Jago was dressed exclusively in Boden.
I've just bought a portable pizza oven, and also recently learned to make my own soda bread** although that also puts me into a class of my own devising - nouveau poor - since soda bread is traditionally what poor people would make when they went to the larder and it was bare; at least you could make bread from start to eating in under a hour.
(I think I then spoil the image by toasting it in a Dualit and putting smoked salmon and a free range organic poached egg on top)
The salmon and eggs is still well within your 'nouveau poor' ethos. In the middle ages there were riots in Scotland over salmon - The main grievance being the poor wanting there to be just one day a week - just one - where they didn't have to eat salmon. Salmon was so abundant at the time it was cheaper than porridge.
Wining and dining the local Councillors to ensure planning permission for the new buttery in the basement extension.
Interviewed four maids today and researched appropriate health insurance for them.
Yay, first ever glitch double post.

Can't see any problem with no 14
7. ‘Ever since they started to offer free coffee in here it has been like a bloody soup kitchen.’
Very close to the bone. One of the reasons I don't shop there anymore. That, and the FT being excluded from their free paper offer...
I only ever go in there for Cavolo Nero.
The Today program keeps dropping out on my Sonos. What do I win?

Ah. So that M12 "nut" in the pedestal is actually the sump plug? 😀
Zomfg no tahini in Booths!
I've just been out to buy some food for tea from the local farm shop……
Burger, buns, salad and sweet potato fries for 3
….for £26.75

Sitting in our apartamento, well not in exactly, but on one of its private terraces, in Tarifa, Spain. We come here in May for the blue fin tuna. The only time and place that it's sustainably fished. And the windsurfing of course. Sadly had to leave our asparagus steamer at home.
I have a 14 year old who like to think he's a little bit urban and edgy . . . .
Made me laugh when I gave him his dinner and he proclaimed
'Yes! Kedgeree. . . . Kedgeree is peng'
Kedgeree for dinner? What kind of philistines are you?
Breakfast dear, breakfast...
Became a member of English Heritage..... and have the sticker proudly displayed in the Jag....
Not making any claims to any class, but I did have a small melt down this evening while trying to make espresso in my vw california - the machine in booths didn't grind the beans properly. That'll teach me not to bring my own.
My circle of friends would never address me as "Hun", let alone ask if I was "ok" without full use of the word "You".
Went to the theatre yesterday afternoon in Lichfield (the site of our local Waitrose) to watch a luvvy production about lance armstrong and Marco Pantani.
Went to Costa afterwards like a proper middle class couple. Only hipsters drink good coffee, the middle classes pay for the crap stuff.

Point noted. Just made some this morning (to use up the buttermilk) and now just had a piece toasted with jam* on it.
* Bonne Maman**; that's $$$ed it up again hasn't it.
** even worse; it's not even Bonne Maman strawberry, it's B-M strawberry [u]and wild strawberry[/u] - because strawberry's not middle class enough
*** Is 'Bonne Maman' french for milf?

Ok you hun? Where I come from, that's an invitation to partake in fisticuffs.
Daughter came home with a note from school about some special healthy day coming up where the kids have to bring in a healthy break to share with the rest of the class. The suggestions were:
Avocado
Humous
Passionfruit
WTF is wrong with a banana????
