the call degenerated into a discussion about the best place to breakfast in Berlin.

Well?

Cynic-al is mocking the class system so I’m joining in. You can either look at objective criteria such as revenue and wealth, background (which would make me working class) etc. Or superficial signs, aspirations, voting habits, attitudes etc. which is what’s making the thread amusing.

Allowing people to be socially mobile was never a strong feature in UK society, and I’m not sure people want to be socially mobile. Noel Gallagher was worth about 25 million years ago and probably more now but I suspect calling him upper class would be met with one of his typically comic put downs – if he didn’t really take offence and deck you.

Himalayan pink table salt.

I’ve got some of that. It was in the sale section of Aldi. Comes in a little plastic grinder.
You’re fooling no one.

comic put down = middle class
decking you = working class

I holiday on my boat in the Med.
Plus I’ve no idea where our vacuum cleaner is (the cleaner knows)

Piemonster, going anywhere exciting? that is Terminal 5, right?

Edinburgh to Les Arcs.

The apartment has leopard print and texture wall panels.

Well?

I’m a big fan of Brot und Butter opposite the Technical University. There was a vote for AlpenStuckle which is also nice and a hole-in the wall bakery out east that I’ve not been to.

I stuck to my guns.

I sampled some foreign food today, rather disgusting, but one so hates to upset the natives and they don’t know any better.

I think the natives call it ‘Faggots and peas’

Here’s my attempt to win the thread.

Just realised I’ve not put in my own entry:

I can play a musical instrument (one you find in an orchestra)
The kids’ bikes are Islabikes (am I really the first to mention that?)
I know how to use apostrophes
We have croissants for breakfast on Sunday

Thanks lemonysam, worth noting for the next time one is over there.

Here’s my attempt to win the thread.

The graphics on those BOS forks mean that you lose the thread, however expensive the bike is – simply frightful.

So does my snake (whos big belly is keeping my fingers warm as i type*)
I don’t do breakfast (one does brunch)
One does not say ‘Kids’ unless one is a goat (so middle class)
Croissants (purchased at a store)
Full stops are so last year

Where’s that leave me?

Lucky bastard class with lottery winners?

I think the most middle class thing I ever did was go on a skiing holiday with Club Mark Warner and going out on the slopes with 3 barristers (not baristas). It’s been downhill ever since.

I’m having a pint and a fag while I cook the kids chicken nuggets and mash..

I’ll go and sit on the naughty step 😳

Not me but a friend wondering where the maid had put her daughters clean PE kit

I’ll have two, thanks.

Plays a musical instrument?

I have an islabike track tandem.
I like buying cheese from the dairy it was made in.
I have a 10 year old Ford Focus with the corners knocked off.
I don’t have my shoes made for me.

I have a weekly bus pass and spend more money than i make 🙂

I just had chickpea curry for dinner

Nice try… But, it’s what you have in/on your croissants, what you drink at the time, the paper you’re reading and the radio station you’re listening to while scoffing croissants that’s crucial to being real middle class!

So, I’ll out win all of you now…..

Has Library card and attends regularly!

People do something other than taking their early morning ride of choice, then listen to the Archers/D.I.D on a Sunday?

The poor, poor, bastards.

Nobody said being middle class and out classing your enemies neighbours was easy.
😉

I just arranged a breakfast get together morning with a couple we are friends with.after i am taking the lexus to pick up my santa cruz that was in for a service and dropping the shan off. Oh and wine man was on the phone trying to arrange a tasting of thier new reds.

The master is certainly not middle class. I – his gentlemens – gentleman, post on the masters behalf.

The routine here is eggs for breakfast whilst listening to Radio3. Private Passions if it looks like being a good one.

Oh well if that’s all it takes, I’m in.

I live in Harrogate
I shop in waitrose and am constantly frustrated as they always run out of a particular sushi roll that I like, before I get there.
I have 3 Santa Cruz mountain bikes
I have a BtL property
I’m currently agonising over which business class seat to book for my holidays.
I’m an Apple fanboi
When working in Stockport, I lamented the lack of nice delicatessens to get lunch from.

The need to be middle class is strong with this one.

I smoke pipes does that make me middle class? 😛

You’re in a class of one.

My son’s school have just built a short-game golf course…

I’m struggling to fit in a trip to Paris for a weekend to see Mrs Gastro, a trip to Palma to eat steak in one of our favourite little restaurants and a week in New York (including catching up with friends from uni).

1st world problems!

I dont really know (if there is such a thing anymore) what class im in.

Frightful, Montessori Nursery was a necessity, but home education after that, only way the little darlings can get a truly rounded upbringing …
