Middle class towns

We drove home from holiday yesterday and passed through Marlborough where we made a lunch stop to break our journey. What a fabulous town! Everything about it felt so upmarket; the shops, smart people, etc. Where have you been that felt so 'posh'?

I forgot Chepstow. And Totnes, which I don't think has had a mention yet (though I see someone said Brixham - really?)

Topsham near Exeter

BRIDPORT? Really? West Bay is a dump.

My ultra middle class cousin lives in Croydon. Grin

Isn't West Bay benefitting from the Broadchurch-effect?

Ta1kinpeace · 03/09/2018 16:54

Um, have you BEEN to West Bay ?
Its not quite like Bridport ;-)

My ultra middle class cousin lives in Croydon.

I think they're winding you up!

BarbaraofSevillle · 03/09/2018 18:32

Why? They don't limit certain areas to certain classes you know.

And what I'm surprised that no-one seems to have mentioned yet is that class and income and necessarily related, so there will be middle class people who can't afford to live in Croydon and working class people who can.

Some parts of Croydon are middle class, Micheal Buble (?) has a house there.

OhJean · 03/09/2018 20:39

Another vote for Stockbridge - painfully middle class.

Needsleepneedsleep · 03/09/2018 23:28

Not a town, but Bosham, West Sussex.

Another reason why Lytham St Anne’s is the winner
The latest scandal to hit is the woman who lifted a magnum of proscecco from bargain booze and then returned the same day to pay for it after her photo was plastered all over the local Facebook page

Even our criminals are middle class

DontCallMeCharlotte · 04/09/2018 15:28

Actually, for all I take the piss out of Croydon (I'm local I'm allowed), Shirley and its envrions is vair vair nice indeed.

@CherryPavlova

Guildford does not have an ‘army’ feel, what an earth are you talking about Confused Grin
Surrey is the epitome of MC so again. you are completely ill informed Confused
Oh and by the way, you slag Surrey off then mention that Haslemere is MC... would that be Haslemere in Surrey Grin

Why all the hatred for lovely Surrey? Beautiful place 🤷🏻‍♀️

Aclh13 · 16/05/2020 05:17

Lincoln 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️, but make sure you live either brant Road /skelly/Hykeham or uphill glebe park/Nettleham fields/Castle quarter and surrounding villages x

Aclh13 · 16/05/2020 05:19

Sorry forgot to mention I live in Lincoln and it's actually a city, I loved all of Cornwall however, mInly Plymouth and Perranporth x

awaynboilyurheid · 16/05/2020 09:11

AnExcellentUsername would love some on here to book a week end away on your recommendation to Port Glasgow Grin

UnitedRoad · 16/05/2020 11:39

@SnailMailFan I agree. I’ve lived in Farnham since I was five (48 now), went to college in Guildford, and there’s never been any military connection that I know of. Aldershot is a very separate town, obviously it’s military (although much less so now), but soldiers used to go out in Woking or Camberley.

Shoreham By Sea, West Sussex

Hythe, Kent

Goring on Sea, West Sussex (arguably not town - suburb of Worthing)
