So if you were an honest working class family and were given two following questions.
Which one of them would offend the classification of you?

a) You'll be paid your exotic holidays.
b) You won't be invited to a garden party.

Only if I eat too much ham.

My question comes from the depth of my soul.

Imagine you like someone and they (totally unsuspecting) are told they're working class like it's something bad. Similarly, someone middle class are made feel it's something bad.

I genuinely am oversensitive. This is the key line.

I still don’t get it

Highlyflavouredgravy · 18/09/2023 17:10

This literally makes no sense. Read it out loud to yourself and try again.

fettuccini · 18/09/2023 17:11

You what?

Comedycook · 18/09/2023 17:12

It's like pulling teeth

Gnomegnomegnome · 18/09/2023 17:12

But they aren’t questions!

MagnificentDelurker · 18/09/2023 17:12

Hi OP

I get that the issue is important to you. Could you rephrase the question as I don’t understand what you’re asking?

Anni1234 · 18/09/2023 17:12

I’ll take the holidays thanks :)

countdowntonap · 18/09/2023 17:14

Op, being literate is no longer a middle class or working class identifier.

Beezknees · 18/09/2023 17:15

I don't understand what you mean.

I wouldn't give a crap if someone who was middle class tried to make me feel bad for being working class. I'd just laugh at their pretentiousness.

AgnesX · 18/09/2023 17:16

Everybody can do these things these days. Exotic holidays are accessible to everyone so long as you have cold hard cash (or at least a credit card).

Garden parties of the Buck House type also as all sorts of people get honoured.

I don't know who you've been talking to but you need to give them the boot if they're being class-catty.

Johnnylewis · 18/09/2023 17:16

Is the exotic holiday AI or self catering?

Beezknees · 18/09/2023 17:16

Or are you the middle class person and have accidentally offended a working class person by not inviting them to your garden party?

Findyourneutralspace · 18/09/2023 17:16

Nope, I’m confused too. Who said what to who?

StopStartStop · 18/09/2023 17:17

I don't want exotic holidays or to go to a garden party. Or any party. Hope that helps.

madamreign · 18/09/2023 17:17

What if the exotic holiday includes a garden party?

jonesysy · 18/09/2023 17:27

Working class is not a bad thing.

ActDottie · 18/09/2023 17:28

This makes no sense!
