Your house doesn't get egged, it gets avocado'd
Or the only time you see or hear the select invitation only rotary club driving the big float down your street with a brand new pick up wanting you to buy a huge bag of tawties and pay well over the odds for them
The empties we find left in our local woods are Pinot Grigio, and craft beer bottles 😀

Was it a drive-by fruiting?

We have a small square by the canal that was underused and used to be a hang out for the druggies. The council revamped it a bit, then locals started a local gardening group for public areas in the neighbourhood. They’ve done a great job and even put in a pétanque set up for anyone to use. It’s a popular place to visit and sit down these days and in summer the planting looks fantastic. Hasn’t 100% got rid of the druggies but those still around do occasionally play pétanque 😃
When I lived in a ‘posh’ area (Blakedown for those who know it) my second evening there I got a knock on the door and it was a door to door painting salesperson selling her paintings.
On the flip side this past week I spent a day pushing leaflets through big houses to advertise our vineyard and wines
(* I aye posh, when I lived in Rochdale for a bit there were prostitutes on my street corner)
When knife crime is a neighbour being spotted holding their cutlery like a pen.

I might have to install a protective dyke
A few years back I was teasing a co-worker about how posh his area was (High Wycombe). On the drive out from a site visit, I passed a pet shop which was advertising a special deal on swan food.

Is it? Blast, I came up with that gag independently, years ago.
The real question is what is "middle class"?

Robin Williams did have a reputation for plagiarism.
for me it was when I went for a fry up at a local cafe. It came all artfully piled up with salad including coriander!
Waitrose is on Deliveroo
When as a town of under 10000 you sustain the second busiest M&S food shop in the UK. And still a neighbour tells you it's so busy today they resorted to driving to Waitrose in Stirling....
@matt_outandabout - that’ll be Dunblane?
our local M&S food shut for a month recently as it was being refurbished. The trauma councillors are working overtime helping people through the experience!
Not sure I'd call High Wycombe posh, town centre is a bit of a shit hole. Need to try Marlow, Beaconsfield or Amersham for posh.
Surrounding areas are quite posh/middle class though.
So you got avocadoed 😁
Either that or walking outside to a real life frogger
huge bag of tawties
A bag of what?
...when there isn't ****ing litter everywhere seems to do it these days,

Ooh, hark at James Cleverly!

Middle class and posh are not the same thing. Many people are middle class: about 40-60% in the UK depending on definition. Very few indeed are posh.
You might think Middle class people may shop at Waitrose. But posh people have housekeeping staff to go shopping at Waitrose.
The real question is what is “middle class”?
Exactly! Everyone get's their Waitrose shopping delivered and have been to at least one Jacob Collier gig in another country.

I seem to remember a thread that effectively amounted to people trying to outdo each other on how working class they were!

Having lived there for over 20 years I feel pretty qualified to comment.
Lowlights were walking past an abandoned burnt out car down a side street/alley every day for a week or two to find the street was closed one day with loads of police. Turns out there was a body in the boot.
On another occasion, just around the corner, another street was closed as some inter-family issues resulted in a running street battle.
Lots of the surrounding areas are lovely and very middle class, and yeah even posh.
People humble-brag about how good the riding is from their door on STW?

Nail bars are for ladies and gentlemen painted on the shop front
Has anyone had theirs manicured? Although manky nails don't look good as you sometimes see in pics on here, get a knife under the nail or wee scrub with a brush you mingers
The kids have names like Flora and Fauna.
