At a farm café... naturally. And daughter is on special diet, so she was eating her packed lunch. And she went to eat her apple ...I found my self saying "oh darling, let me wash your apple, it's got brioche crumbs all over it"

What a dick I am 🤣

Suburbia is also a lovely name. If I wasn't well past my child bearing years I might have Brioche & Suburbia on my list. I'll save them for future grandchildren.

Briocha of Suburbia.

Yes it sounds really nice.😊

Do you remember the halcyon days when people in MN could just take the piss out of themselves, have a smile and move on...? It was when it was all fields round here..

Yawn

This is total tosh. Especially the fantastic notion that the class system is “legally defined”.

Your slow its how we analyse populations. It has to be defined.

Not really just aware of the foolishness people try to propagate against working class people. So I fight it at every turn. I loathe people who think being middle class is an ach8vement. Means fuck all.

I don’t think being middle class is an achievement. I think I am born into it and with it came certain privileges. You are the fool not to be aware of the privileges which comes with being born into a certain class.

Wow I'm raging tonight guys no idea why. Sorry I do like this thread and thank the posters who have engaged. I'm going to be honest this thread has trigged me. :) 😀 I hate when people try to bully other people because they think they own a social class it's just infuriating.

QuirkInTheMatrix · 05/04/2025 19:47

I completely agree that class (if you’re bothered about it) is about far more than money or even job.

i was brought up in a solidly middle class family, headteacher parents, had a pony. I went to university and got a degree and then spent years doing manual labour. Literally tarmacking roads. I don’t think my class changed then just because of my job. I still had the same background and more money than my friends doing entry level office stuff.

I now work as a university lecturer. Again i don’t believe my class changed as I changed job. I have colleagues who are middle class and colleagues who I’d say are working class. We are all doing the same job and are all highly educated.

Okay middle class is a classification used to assess people. So it is defined by the ONS. The criteria is updated as society changes. It just is.

It’s not disappointing, it’s just wanky on a level that made me feel compelled to comment.

Well yes the thread title gives the wankery away.

What are talking about where did I say there was no class privallage. I'm saying being middle class is not something you should use to attack other posters. I was initially replying to the person who tried to shame the op by saying she hadn't ach8ved middle class levels. So I'm calling that bullshit by presenting the exact definitions that's all.

I recently found myself saying to my DD in the supermarket "this is just ridiculous, it's the second time they don't have any sourdough"

I hate myself

I went round a farmers market cursing because not a single bread stall had anything but sourdough!

Attempting a rigid definition of class renders you terminally lower-middle, I'm afraid.
