Very funny thread Smile - but you lot are so obsessed with class!

Angeliz - just poking fun at people who are worried about the class of children their kids mix with.

And they do exist.

Pop, videos, chips delivered. And fish but no-one bought that.

Tango? Nah coz the milky goes up posh estate after and puts load of that pure juice stuff on for them. Pure acid if you ask me. Can't be good for them. No, if you want to live longer eat preservatives. In the name, innit?

georginarf · 30/03/2006 16:33

"crumpet" isn't posh is it? unless used to mean 'women I'd like to shag'

Pikelet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pikelet can refer to either:

In Australia, New Zealand, and the northwest of England, a small, thick colonial-style pancake, known in parts of Britain as a drop-scone or Scotch pancake. See Pancake.

A British regional dialect word variously denoting a flatter variant on crumpet, a standard crumpet or muffin. See Crumpet.

Peachclair - will you be serving dandelion & burdock with that?

MissChief · 30/03/2006 16:29

MissChief · 30/03/2006 16:28

google "Definition. daft as a brush, stupid. dale, valley ... pikelet, crumpet"
How apt, think they only meant the latter though!

PeachyClair · 30/03/2006 16:28

I think I was rather taking the iss out of myself actually. Which I AM entitled to do. And will.
Nuggets for tea anyone? With mushy peas for a five a day addition?

(my mother is Australian)

zippitippitoes · 30/03/2006 16:24

trying to work out who you are upset on behalf of Angeliz, i think this is a laugh at ourselves wherever we are/whoever we are in life..our attitudes and misconceptions

VVVVwhatever · 30/03/2006 16:23

errr..........i mean people on the 'dole' being described as 'scroungers..........

Blush
VVVVwhatever · 30/03/2006 16:22

Actually, if we are going to blast stereotypes, i currently object to people on the 'dole' as 'scroungers' who 'sit on their ass all day'.

But, am pmsl at this thread! Grin
