I haven't spotted a middle class thread all week so thought I'd start one just for fun 😜
In your opinion what are the most middle class or umc holiday spots?
Summer:
Any part of France (extra posh if you have friends or family who have a house to put you & the kids up in!)
Italian Lakes
Greek Islands

Winter
Barbados or similar Caribbean Island
Skiing in the Austrian, Swiss or French Akps (wealthiest go to Switzerland)
Christmas markets

This is just for fun & based on the wealthier middle class families I know! They all seem to go to the same places!

I've always done middle class holidays since I was a child but I remember being ever so jealous of one of my best friends at school who's family owned a caravan and ran around feral every time with all the other DC. It sounded so much fun.

My holidays were also loads of fun but all the sightseeing got a bit dull as a child seeing the pyramids, Greek Temples etc. I enjoyed however, meeting other DC and just having proper fun and adventures with them so I've been tailoring our family holidays to suit our needs at the time requiring a bit of give and take.

I'm not entirely sure where to go next summer but I've put a small deposit down on a package holiday to suit our needs, hopefully, and will cover in case of cancellation.

I'm looking at it as a base from which to do whatever takes our fancy in a destination I haven't been to before and if we're lucky there'll be some other interesting decent people around.

This Christmas I would say Norfolk judging by the folk in dd's class who are headung there for Xmas to stay with in laws. They are spending new years skiing in the French Alps, half term skiing again & Portugal at Easter. I'm not jealous!
