Yes. It's not my fault that the concept is outdated and irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted Saturday at 10:22 Share Posted Saturday at 10:22 (edited) Think of garden centres when considering dining options. ETA: a trait restricted to women. If you see men sitting alone in a GC restaurant then they're waiting on their other halves, or mother (in law).

eez-eh Posted Saturday at 10:23 Share Posted Saturday at 10:23 I’d say that snobbery towards new build homes is way more middle class than actually living in one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted Saturday at 10:30 Share Posted Saturday at 10:30 5 hours ago, Newbornbairn said: 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) Erm no, that's not actually a credible definition of class at all. A GP or surgeon is not in the same class category as a road sweeper. Despite the Scottish middle class obsession with pretending away their relative privilege. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted Saturday at 10:38 Share Posted Saturday at 10:38 1 hour ago, coprolite said: Me. I don't have purple tights but will have san pelegrino with a meal deal. One trait of the Scottish Middle classes is to be embarrassed about it and pretend to be working class, despite working in proffessions owning their own home, having investments etc. Guessing some posters on this thread included. The old Victorian british class constructs don't really apply today. In Marxist terms i'd be proletariat because i don't own the means of production. So i'd like to base my inverted sobbery on despising the Bourgoise. Dinner parties If you shout this post quite loudly, it sounds like a Sleaford Mods song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk would regularly send cats, and puppies, on voyages to the bottom of it. Not sure many of them were middle class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
