My grandmother was sold into service at 14″
One of my Great Great Uncles was sent to Australia for stealing. Do I win?
Depends what he stole -but so far you appear to be on to a winner
Posted 9 years agoI was busy having a fine laugh at this thread when my wife ran in and said “I just have to phone Virginie dear as I forgot to pick up the amaryllis”. I may need to kill myself now

Splendid work.
Posted 9 years agoJust disqualified yourself for a middleclass theft. Now it had been a loaf of bread………
Posted 9 years agoThe aspect of this that really amuses me is the people who claim to be working class still despite being so obviously not – from their job to their spending habits.

No! You’re just a bit of a **** really!
Posted 9 years agoWelcome back SueW 🙂
Well I have a 1st degree and have a good, technical job to which I’m quite committed, but completely lack personal ambition, and am a bit of a spendthrift, don’t own a home etc.
I’m in the jumped-up working class class.
Posted 9 years agoNo! You’re just a bit of a **** really!
That as well, my friend; for I am many things, to many people…
Posted 9 years agoAte in Rick Steins seafood restaurant in Padstow. Thought it was babber. The wife nicked a fanny rag bag out of the toilets though, but it hardly made up for the ridiculous bill.

Elf, you know that song ‘Common People’ by Pulp.. that’s about you isn’t it?
How many middle class points do I earn for owning a Prius?
Posted 9 years agoIt cooduv bin, Mol, it cooduv bin..
I was at a proper middle-class uni when that song came out, and it was so true. Most of the kids there were seeing the seedy, grotty underbelly of a big city for the first time, and just had no idea of how life was for so many people here. Same in all big city unis I spose.
Twas fun…
Posted 9 years agobecause my biggest problem is CRC not delivering next day.
Posted 9 years agoAnd where did you first see the grotty seedy underbelly, Elf?
Posted 9 years ago…and I get all my opinions from the Guardian
Posted 9 years agoWork for the council, live in chorlton, ride a bike, read the guardian/socialist worker, vegetarian, eat haloumi cheese, real ale, travel rather than holiday.

I take my fish and chips home (not cod nat.) and put balsamic vinegar on them.First time I ever had Balsamic stuff on chips was in your kitchen, always have it now. 😛
Posted 9 years agoI own an electric toothbrush and have a copy of ProCycling as reading material in the loo.
Posted 9 years agoComparing a pathetic one week flounce with SurfMats, disgraceful.
Yours outraged,
From the South
Posted 9 years agoI actually missed Surfmats flounce. Though I note it is talked about in hushed reverential tones, due to its awesomeness. Is there a link to it?
And on the middle class front… I got my breakfast from Greggs. Does this make me underclass? Or below that even?

Rouleur, surely for the Rapha wearing classes?
Posted 9 years agoRouleur for the coffee table dontchaknow.

No – makes you ultra middle class if you are doing it ironically. I hear their coffee is actually rather good.
Posted 9 years agoIf you have your food delivered by Occado you’re a middle-class t*ss*r.
Posted 9 years ago… because I’m a terrible social climber. I used to drink just coffee and in the 80s it had to be Gold Blend. But that’s just so last century or millennium even. I’m nothing without my frappuccino, skinny latte or iced caramel macchiato. And young Anselm is off to Gordonstoun next year. And I never use the word you, when one can use the word one.
Posted 9 years agoIf you have your food delivered by Occado you’re a middle-class t*ss*r.
Quite right. We’ve switched to Waitrose now.
Posted 9 years agoi’m just eating my lunch that i bought from Betty’s.
Posted 9 years agoWho’s Betty?
Posted 9 years agoBetty’s Tea Room in Ilkley, Alan Bennett shops there when he’s in town.
I also recognise Alan Bennett when i see him, extra point i think.
Posted 9 years agoIlkley, as in Yorkshire?
Posted 9 years ago
‘middle class’ and ‘Yorkshire’ are surely mutually exclusive.I hear their coffee is actually rather good.
Lol.. I suspect if you went in there and asked for a ‘long black’ your response would be a snigger and they’d ask ‘a long black what?’
‘middle class’ and ‘Yorkshire’ are surely mutually exclusive
AndyP – been to Harrogate? It’s where STW’s own king of the middle class dilemma lives – MF.
Posted 9 years agoHora famously, despite being from Yorkshire, didn’t know who Alan Bennett was. Alan was gutted apparently
What you having for lunch then chutney?
And regarding Greggs, there was no irony involved. And the coffee was good. As is Macdonalds coffee. Apparently. So I’ve heard anyway
Posted 9 years agoBeen through it. Eew.
