I'm getting the strong suspicion that several posters here played truant when they really ought to have been attending finishing school.
- My wife keeps buying Ninja air fryers – 4 bought in the last year.
are they unreliable?
Wives or the air fryers? She changes her mind on what one she wants - so not that reliable really.
If one withdraws into one’s drawing room then where does one do one’s drawing?
parisian garret.
i’m beginning to wonder if the people on here are actually
middle class!

sorry for the confusion. air fryers. but thanks for the answer.

What do you expect? They're ninjas.
A 'drawing room isn't for receiving visitors, it's for taking them to after the meal hence the name
Edit: soz, replied to page 3 😔
What’s my library for then?
Taking liberties
I'm beginning to suspect many of you are not really middleclass after all
A ‘drawing room isn’t for receiving visitors, it’s for taking them to after the meal hence the name
receive, whilst meaning “meet” has the additional meaning of “being visited by”.
a drawing room is the modern version of the 16th Century withdrawing chamber.

lumpenproletariat?
lumpenproletariat?
snobbery is unbecoming.
Not being able to choose the best credit card to give me free lounge access at airports...
I actually wanted to ask that on here but thought I'd get slaughtered.
The middleclass in our road hate the fact only us builders can afford to buy the houses now up for sale. "There's a VW on the path next door and it's not a full camper conversion, it's a builders van 😱"
The only houses with bollards on our street are the three with VW vans on them...
We had the parquet floor in our house resanded and treated recently. It's come up absolutely beautiful but now we have to put yoga mats everywhere if someone visits with their dog 😞
Ride on mower needs a new carb, and the ornamental ducks keep escaping and eating my pak choi.
The stream is overgrown so the view from our veranda is obscured.
also think I should have got the larger Ooni.
Actually my son is probably the most middle class in the house, he just told me we should have got an Etron GT, because 'everyone' has an Etron now.
We have run out of money to develop the Airbnb in the east wing, so it looks like we'll only be able to afford to holiday on the yacht this year.
The mechanic who I’ve dropped my bike into to replace the rear hub bearings can’t do it because he’s broken his vice trying to remove the lock ring.
both hold at least a pint – just how much gravy do you need?
That would be just enough for my daughter alone.
That the poor don't recycle. Heathens.
My vicar was just moaning....
That the poor don’t recycle Heathens.
you should ask her to sleep in the guest suit.
Now that’s proper posh. When you have a special suit just for the guests to wear!
I just replced the lenses in one of my sets of oakley sunnies for polarised ones, and now I have to have my phone in portrait rather than landscape in the window holder in my #vanlife family bus*
Not middle class enough, you need a phone with an OLED screen. Then polarised lenses work just fine.
And @nickewen this is why pilots wear regular lenses and not polarised.
When we moved into our 2 reception roomed house, my mother said 'is this the morning room?'.
Hubby always said I was posh as I won't eat 'in the street (not even a pie)'. A throwback from my prim and proper upbringing.
I also refuse to have a telly in the bedroom.
‘is this the morning room?’.
As in, somewhere to be in before noon, or where you'd display a coffin?
I've never heard of that before but it kinda makes sense if your house runs East-West, you could move to the other room to follow the sun.
I also refuse to have a telly in the bedroom.
That has nothing to do with middle class, everything to do with being Wayne and Waynetta.
Is quinoa pronounced "kinwah" or "keenwah".

Oooh sorry that's gone right over my head.
Morning room is where you spend the mornings. IE its not a reception room or a drawing room. When I owned a house in Manchester it had 3 downstairs rooms plus a kitchen. Sitting room, dining room and morning room
Is quinoa pronounced “kinwah” or “keenwah”.
I read this as "is kin-o-wa pronounced..."
😱😂. I do know better honest!

What did you do when you wanted to stand up of an afternoon?
I've just bought a Santoku knife and quickly realised I now need a Nakiri, Bunka, a Gyuto in 2 sizes, and a Sujihiki. This middle class malarkey is bloody expensive!

Went to the Middle Classroom?
IGMC

That's nothing to do with class surely. It's just an inevitable consequence of being over 18 years old and owning your own house...
Looks like the hedge is needing a trim. Must remember to remind my gardener.
Now that’s proper posh. When you have a special suit just for the guests to wear!
one does like to brag.

a drawing room is a reception room. a morning room is where you’d eat breakfast.
Not being able to choose the best credit card to give me free lounge access at airports…
it would be much less of a quandary to just buy the right ticket
I regret not choosing the matched wine flight with my meal the other night. The one glass I did have was brilliant.
At least you didn’t have one glass then go for the flight mid starter/appetiser/amuse bouche. I've done that then spent the whole meal trying to keep up before the next glass and course arrived.
LOLz
Deciding whether to open chablis or riesling.
The handle has just broken on the wood pellet scoop for our Solo Mesa stove …
