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 🤣

Winner! 🏆

By what measure is 60% of the uk middle class?

I'm fortunate enough to have access to a nice bakery. The croissants are lovely but my teen daughter prefers filled croissants ie almond, chocolate/almond ones. At a push she will eat the usual sort IE plain, flaky ones. And on a recent school trip she was visiting a place near me so I bought her lunch. She went back to her friends with a Wagama lunch.

You swerve it each and every day you have 'tea'.

Just pretend you're in Aldi or Lidl if it makes you feel bad, sourdough isn't all that mc these days! We used to joke that if a 'new fad' hit Morrison's shelves then it had ceased to be mc!

I caught myself complaining that the kids love sushi but won't eat chips or pizza, and realised what a dick I sounded like. It's true though, sushi is expensive is my main issue and it's one of the only way they eat fish so I feel like I have to buy it so they don't live off cheese sandwiches.

When DS was 6, he pointed at a man on the bus and asked in a clear voice "Mum, is he a ne'er-do-well?"

Actually the Aldi sourdough is my fave!

I caught myself saying "I'm parched, I'm desperate for a cup of tea" and realised I'd turned into my nana!

It seems that humour bypasses are freely available on the NHS today!

Please enlighten us on the subject of the 2020’s wanker…

Honestly I think you are actually middle class, you go about your day shopping in Waitrose and eating your sourdough and exotic fruit without posting about it on MN. These posts are so weird.

And you can be middle class so have tea every day. I know both middle and probably upper middle who have tea!

In all seriousness though, it is fascinating how food and social class are so connected in the UK....I'm not sure other countries are like this are they? I remember a new mum friend I made who called me posh for eating hummus for lunch...it had cost me about 70p for the tub.

Never 'supper' though. <cringe>

What's wrong with supper?

Slice of toast in your pyjamas for us.

OP I laughed to myself when my Dd was making bread in primary school aged 7 and was asked what she’d like to put in he dough. Others were listing chocolate buttons, marshmallows and she requested black olives… I just know what the teacher thought.

My child has the most cringe worthy middle class allergy. He absolutely adores fish but when he was a toddler he came up in a nasty reaction turns out he is allergic to the growth hormones fed to farmed salmon. We are very lucky to have an excellent fishmonger 200 yards from our house where we generally get all our fish from so it wasn’t until we bought him a whole salmon to put in the freezer when it was reduced after one Christmas (in Waitrose😂) that it became obvious he was allergic to it after 2 episodes of it. Hard to explain to a small child why he couldn’t have one his favourite foods when out but he could when we knew where it was from and got it from our fishmonger (randomly the fishmongers child has the same allergy). Our child whenever anybody asks about allergies or there is salmon as an option then asks about the salmon and whether it “supermarket salmon” he sounds so bloody judgy when he does it we try and cut the conversation off before he starts and ask him to order something else to avoid it!

I know! It’s a lighthearted thread people!!!

Already have in previous posts

I am about as far removed from middle class as you could get, a pure blood rural deep north ex-pit mining commoner from the 'poverty' belt.

I have eaten an apple, been to a farm shop and even eaten brioche.

I would say farming (a common living in rural areas) and eating stuff you find on growing for free on trees is not out of reach for us 'poor folk'.

Maybe we have risen above our station and got over fancy but the local Asda here sells Brioche for 98p and we get it every Saturday lol.

Not really seeing how its humble bragging.

Tsk don’t be silly. You know northerners can’t be middle class. Or even midlanders. Or the Welsh.

Every time I see the word 'triggered' all I can think about is the Lone Ranger, one for we oldies.

I don't think Fergus wanted one, did he?

Afternoon tea, yes.

Not as your evening meal though.

I've probably missed the point but is cinnamon yoghurt a real product and does it come in plant based? I'm allergic to dairy. Tia. I did try the Waitrose rhubarb crumble yoghurt years ago by accident (Ocado, I was buying £40 of snacks because I'm fat) and it was lovely.
As an aside, I've just discovered that I can never achieve the lofty heights of middle class due to being 43% Welsh, phew, dodged a bullet there.

In the dim and distant past when I was working in a school where the boys were addressed by their surname I had a pupil called Darling, it was almost impossible to tell him off with a name like that!
