Newbornbairn Posted Saturday at 05:18 Share Posted Saturday at 05:18 (edited) We need to define "working" class. Working Class = people who have to work for a wage/salary Middle Class = people who rely on income from a stocks portfolio/investments Upper Class = people for whom money is effectively meaningless (royalty, Dukes, Earls etc) Edited Saturday at 05:20 by Newbornbairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or tartan trousers. Shops for clothes at House of Bruar Paying for an English uni when you could have got a free degree in Scotland Knows someone who can sort you a ticket for the Calcutta Cup at Twickenham Calls the Ubiquitous Chip "the Chip". Has private health insurance (paying for one-off conditions doesn't count) A lot of responses just firing in a list of perceived middle class things (with some wild misses imo ha). Uniquely Scottish middle class traits (or those prevalent in your locale), and following on from these two on-point contributions: - complementing your Waitrose shop by getting a range of cheeses from George Mewes; - considering Zara Gladman/West End Mum to be hilarious - quoting her; - boasting about rarely leaving West End/South Side to go into town - only travels are outside of Glasgow; - have a packing routine for attending "gigs" at the bandstand; - know every Highland, Fife or Borders place worth visiting - "Elie is amazing this time of year"; - tell someone new at least once a day how great co-wheels is; (universal) - a holiday hat depending on the location; (universal) Edited Saturday at 05:24 by Pocketman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running an Instagram account for the dog where you are pretend to be the dog #woof Boring everyone to death with hillwalking. Boring everyone to death with your eternal diet. Drinking beer that tastes like soap. Tennis, Wimbledon in particular. Have watched every BBC drama and recommend each and every one to you. Would go on a 'mural trail' but also complain about graffiti. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnydun Posted Saturday at 07:07 Share Posted Saturday at 07:07 I know we fall out on here sometimes on the great Chipper/Chippy debate, but I think we could join forces against the middle class who attend the 'Fish and Chip Shop'.
