The most cliched middle class family holiday destination you've been on?

[Borntobrighton]

For me in the UK - Cornwall & North Wales.
Abroad - a campsite in S. France 10 mins from St Tropez.

Not so posh
Salou & Cambrils
Tenerife
Won't be returning anytime soon.

@thefizz , Brits aren’t obsessed with class - not in my long experience , anyway - but MN definitely is. Every few days there’s yet another class-related thread - what makes you MC/UC/WC, usually with a modicum of sneering at the MCs thrown in - and almost invariably someone saying they’re proud to be WC.

Why proud, exactly? It’s not down to anything you’ve personally achieved or worked for, and it’s not as if you were asked before being born what class you’d like to be born into - ‘Ooh, WC please!’

Whitby!! Only been once,thought it was as rough as old poke.Awful.

Isles of Scilly. We've just got back.

Snowdonia imo😊

Same ! We are in Tenerife in a very naice hotel as well, no racing to bag a sun bed in the morning. Lots of well dressed/smart Spanish people swishing around the hotel lobby.
We have also been to Center Parcs this year and we ain’t middle class either 😀

@ninnynonny New Hunstanton is so much more fun.

My dc love the little sweet shop at Burnham Market, they painted pots last year & we still have them. Burnham Market seemed popular with the Londoners when we were there.

It's brilliant for kids and charity shops I will admit! I just like sitting in the dunes at Old hiding nowadays 😄

Northumberland ,
Lindisfarne and Bamburgh in partucular.

Aldeburgh
The Dordogne

I was there on Saturday and would say not.

Wells next the Sea, Aldeburgh and Southwold were impossibly MC.

I love them but I wouldn't want to live there-full of joules, fat face and boden shops but not anything useful!

Most of the places mentioned on the thread are in the U.K..

We always planned camping amongst other holidays - the contrast improved the experience, basic campsite 3 days then a 5 star hotel - was never ver good at staying put - not convinced that’s class related!

I've lived in Norfolk my whole life and its so interesting to listen to outsiders perspectives on it.
I was in North Norfolk over the weekend and can confirm it's very MC

Northumberland is our go-to holiday because it’s just so quiet and beautiful. But it was heaving in the summer of 2020 and a woman queing with me for the toilets in a cafe on Lindisfarne moaned that it was ‘like Disneyland’ but that she was meant to be in Thailand. Most middle class moan ever. I couldn’t wait for the posh twats to get back to their exotic destinations.

It's Courchevel. I am a bit bemused by this whole post.

So true but it is lovely.

Judging (yes) by the number of morbidly obese, smoking, vaping, penny rolling scruffs I saw yesterday, Whitby doesn’t fall in to this category.

As a ‘Northerner’ it was grim there yesterday.

I wouldn't have the faintest idea.

Rock
Southwold
Nice
Cannes
Corsica
Sardinia

Brancaster, St Ives
Nice
Port Soller in Majorca

What is a penny rolling scruff?

Hahaha I live in a v MC postcode and want to raise hell in one of these snobby campsites… 😄 I need names!

All these stereotypes eg ‘braying’ (great imagery btw!) seem UC to me rather than MC. Obviously there’s old money stately home people but I don’t think that accounts for the whole of the UC. We went on a very unexpectedly MC day out the other day and I felt so uncomfortable; and people are always telling me I’m posh and must have gone to private school (I didn’t). So IMO that level of MC is actually UC!
