I just peaked at middle class wankerism

[Buckarooo]

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 🤣

Ha! This made me laugh! And remember the time while visiting pals in the city and I said loudly to my then 3 year old DD “wow darling this is the first time you’ve been on a bus” … I cringed and thought oh god anyone who heard that must think I’m a right posh t*!

I found myself wishing I could let the other passengers know that we live in a very ordinary house in a village with the worst bus service in the country!

Good source of dietary calcium that.

The proles don’t tend to eat exotic fruit, do they?

What is wrong with people on this thread?! Accused of humble bragging because your child is eating an apple? Eating brioche? Being at a farm shop?

@Buckarooo I hope you have a contract with your apple decrumber and they’re PAYE rather than you paying them cash. Presumably you’ve declared everything to HMRC and are doing things properly.

They occasionally get a ration of tinned pineapple pieces I gather.

Daddy tends to deal with that kind of thing.

A very silly boy.

Lots of people who are a long way from posh would never be seen dead on a bus, though.

Better the bus than the huge SUVs which seem to pass as family cars now.

Need a 4wd to navigate the potholes round here, I think they're trying to keep the riff raff out.

Wow, what a thread that illustrates the current state of mumsnet. Perfect examples of (on the one hand) fine self-deprecating humour and (on the other) the nasty urge to take a stranger down a peg or two online. Bravo!

I was doing a buffet for DH's bday one year and a long time ago I had done some little quails eggs with (fake) caviar on top as a bit of a joke. I did it once because they are fiddly and I didn't love them BUT DH did so I said I would do them for his birthday
Went to Sains to get the stuff for his buffet and realised I had forgotten a couple of things, checkout lady said no problem I will get a colleague to fetch them. Colleague arrived and asked what I needed
"Quails eggs and caviar please"
She gave me the look I deserved

Which category is your post? A, B or C (thread mum).

Is there a lot of call for quails eggs and caviar in Sainsbos? I'm thinking probably not so you could be lucky and find them yellow stickered...got to love a bargain.

Ha, everything is an adventure for kids, I used to take mine in the glass lift at the shopping centre for a treat. Keep their expectations low and they'll never be disappointed.

My cats have a quail egg yolk each every day. Is that the peak of middle class wankerism? 😆

It is if you serve them with fake or even real caviar on top

Guys serious cavier is a con a scam a fraud

Bit short on the details here....

I feel a comma or 2 could have made this make sense.

It's like not nice I can't stress this enough. Quick post on the move no grammar possible

It's fucking bloodbath right now. And the margin calls are starting
Mumsnet is my escape from this mess and I've got strong anti cavier beliefs.

Hmm, how to fake caviar? Could I use tapioca balls?

I saw a documentary once with a South American tribesman making an 'omelette' of tarantula eggs. Apparently they're a little bitter. (But coming to the world food aisle in a supermarket near you...) Perhaps that's why the 'urban farm' that visited my boys' school brought tarantulas.

DH likes it
Not sure how he feels about Trantula eggs though

What calls itself middle class is merely economic, nowadays.
It needn't require validation?
If it does, it is insecure, perhaps equating middle class to mean property ownership.

Anyone can. own a small pile of bricks.

I would hazard a guess that MN is in the main made up of working class decent earners. This is the majority of the UK nowadays.

I remember the bog standard middle class, but i do not recognise it on MN., where the main topics of delight are watching Strictly and the latest goings-on in the Royal family.

There is also a rather Murdochian bent to most posts. Not what I'd call MC.
No amount of shopping at Waitrose, piffling around National Trust properties with the dc's (the DC DH DDog bollocks is achingly working class) will convince the rest of us otherwise.
