To expand on my earlier post I drove to Kensington in my A8, breakfasted at an artisan bakers where I paid £12 for a capuccino served in a cup with no handle, a gruyere and ham croissant and an organic apple and cinamon muffin, I then proceeded to the Science Museum where I took some photographs on their behalf.

(btw the car is 12 years old and I had brecky where I did as it had a loo and I was touching cloth)

ordered a double macchiato and a bag of artisan roasted coffee beans while the barista discussed the merits of a small pair of scales to weigh beans to maintain even shots, then went to try a flannel suit on at Nicole Farhi.

Woke up in bed with a documentary director (as normal), then out for a meeting with a feature film producer then across town for a meeting with a leading contemporary artist. Bought black truffles on the way home. Home is a coach house in the grounds of a continuously occupied 13th century castle. (no idea what to do with the truffles).

Had an espresso.

However, that was balanced by the fact that I then worked a 16 hour shift of forcing entry to people's homes and searching their filthy, shitty houses.

wouldn't it be nice if we all got together and put down our newspapers and silly made up opinions and got together and realised we are the same, but that'd be really stupid and divisive.

Just to make double sure - if anyone is reading this thread and wondering about posting, if you wore a short-sleeved shirt today, you are not middle class 😉 😆

Shave them? Are you sure you're not thinking of tribbles?

what's middle class about that? they sell them in wetherspoons and garages.
unless you made your own using a LaPavoni/Rancilo/Gaggia with beans from an artisan roaster or from a poncy coffee shop and lifted your little finger up at a jaunty angle while supping it's just pro-plus in liquid form.
provenance is everything. 🙄

Made some Eastern Europeans wash my 4x4 in exchange for a few English pounds, whilst I sat in the warmth listening to the radio and gassing them with my diesel fumes.

apart from DH/4x/bmx. they are ridden by the raucous uncouth sweary types with their wallets on the ends of chains who do jobs that give them rough hands. they also have a fondness for 'double denim'.

Had a nespresso coffee and I'm about to go out on my road bike.

I DH and will soon be bmx'ing again, but my job doesn't give me rough hands. Will I be too "overclassed" for bmx?

Used a Latin saying in a conversation.

I also bought a Smoothie, but it was from the co-operative, so I think we can discount that one.
