LMAO, following on from the 'class' threads I actualy went to Waitrose today....

[Blandmum]

.....Because it is the shop nearest to dd's piano teacher. I seldom if ever go to Waitrose. They have an Aisle called 'Aspirational Toiletries'

LM Big Fat Welsh Arse off.

The other shoppers must have thought I was insane. So it is aspirational of have Kumquat and brown rice soap is it???? I wouldn't know if I should wash in some of that stuff or eat it

[SleepyJess]

I'd have a go at eating it.. at the price I've no doubt it is, it seems almost wasteful to merely wash in down the sink....

"Aspirational toiletries' my Fat Southern Arse too! Are they for the purpose of making us lower class personages 'aspire to be cleaner' in th unlikely event that we should we shunt our low class carcases over the Waitrose threshhold?

SJ x

PS MB, am not implying you are lower class along with I! The 'we' was royal! [arf]

[coppertop]

What exactly are the toiletries meant to be aspiring to?

PMSL! :o

[Blandmum]

I just thought it was fucking hillarious in light of the previous conversations.

You can't make shit like this up!

[Tutter]

methinks the bishop doth protest too much.

it's ok, mb, you don't have to feel bad about being a waitrose shopper. we welcome all here, even middle class rocket shoppers

[MrsBadger]

my local Waitrose is equally hilarious - I find my self snorting with suppressed mirth at the 'Perfectly Ripe organic exotic fruit' section' but it stocks such baby-related staples as Lansinoh, Sudocrem, those brilliant herbal teething powders and (I recently spotted) resuable nappies, none of which are available in my local Tesco.

[Blandmum]

Honest to god, I usualy go to (wispers) Sainsburys.

[PinkKerPlink]

:o how funny

[SleepyJess]

You're such a liar MB.. I saw you in Lidl, mass buying own brand tins.. you were wearing a crop top with MartianBishop on it so know it was you....

[PinkKerPlink]

I really like LIdl

but that may not come as a suprise to you sleepyjess:o

[Blandmum]

at me in a crop top!

[SleepyJess]

I quite like Netto too... esp at Christmas..

So spit on us, you classists..

[SleepyJess]

So spit on us, you classists..

[PinkKerPlink]

I am quite scared of the clientel that hang around outside canterbury netto they scare even me......

[spidermama]

NO!
'Aspirational Toiletries' ? Really?

[Blandmum]

as the Great Custy would say 'I shit you not'

I really did laugh like a loon!

Aspirationa Tolietries My Arse!

[hulababy]

Really? I must go into Waitrose this week and check out the signs. have never noticed before. Very funny! I am intrigued now though.

[Greensleeves]

Aspirational Toiletries No.

What's next? Acquisitive Vegetables? Upwardly Mobile Meat?

Fkn freaks.

[SleepyJess]

"Clientele"... .. PMSL! Thank you for making me laugh!

[SleepyJess]

Do you think they actually meant "Inpsirational Toiletries" (like, for gifts etc) but are too thick and illiterate to live up to their high class reputations?

[Blandmum]

God knows! Gave me a damn good laugh though.

And their Ailes are so wide, I was almost agrophobic

[fairyfly]

Does that mean if you get them from Netto they are unaspirational?

[SleepyJess]

Yeah. If you buy your smellies from Netto you clearly really aspire to be actually smelly rather than sweet smelling. It obvious.

[Blandmum]

agoraphobic

Otherwise I would be afraid of agro, which I am not....well 'ard me!

[tamum]

:o

(feeling v. embarrassed at having started a thread on Waitrose coming to Scotland now, but I bet there'll be none o' that aspirational southern softie stuff up here)

[fairyfly]

Aha! So that is how the class system works, some smell of Kumquat and brown rice and the rest smell like Alpine Mist.
