Middle class Scottish things


Recommended Posts

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).

I think very few people are "honestly suggesting" anything on this subject; and, shouldn't you be out looking for Jay?

Unless he’s one hell of a swimmer then he’s nowhere near me.

 

 

I’m also a bit downheartened by the suggestion that people on here are being frivolous!

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.

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.

Oh great. Now we'll be reading claims that he's wearing concrete footwear at the behest of some local miscreants.

Sending cats on holidays.

I grew up close to the Forth and Clyde canal. Folk would regularly send cats, and puppies, on voyages to the bottom of it. Not sure many of them were middle class.
