What things are considered trashy if you’re poor but not if you’re wealthy?

As someone who has been both, I am intrigued to hear what people think!

@mummysmagicmedicine

"I've been a republican since my teens - back when we really were in the minority. That tide has gradually turned and there are now a great many more of us."

Are MAGA actually 'Republican'? Really?

Putting your kids in care. The posh version of this is boarding school. Basically sending your children off to be parented by someone else.

👍👍

Yes! So true!!

Pretty sure the writer means a British republican, i.e., one opposed to monarchism.

No.

It isn't, but arsehole Farage hates to hear anyone speaking a language he doesn't understand.

Speaking English with an accent
Going out in old or mismatched clothing
Messy homes full of stuff

I’ve found it very interesting how people’s attitude to these things can change from wariness, or outright disgust, to tolerance or even admiration.

If the children had been left alone in a council flat while their parents went to a Wetherspoons the same distance away? Things would have been very different, I know full well suspect.

Flip flops if you’re not on the beach.

Drinking every day, or most days.

’joking’ the reason you need a drink is because of the children. It’s a relatable joke or requires a SS referral depending on who you are.

Not engaged in their education. Though also pushing them academically, tutors and their homework are a valid choice…. But if you’re working through the same books yourself in your over crowded council flat you’re ripping away their childhood, giving them mental health issues….

Drinking in front of your children at home.

Day-time drinking.

Children sharing a bedroom. So sweet if it’s through choice and you’ve got a 5 bedroom home and there’s only 4 of you. If there’s no choice then you’re a bad/ trashy / negligent parent.

This post reminds me of the programs about the Fulfords. They seemed nice enough as a family but it Illustrates many of the points raised in this thread

Wearing Nike or Adidas

Dry robes
camping
crocs
adanola
juicy back in the day
bottomless brunch

French bull dogs
fishing
adhd

Most things really

Protesting / striking

Naming your child after a place - India, Chelsea etc.

Brightly painted walls

Dog fighting. Abhorrent no matter who is organising it but if you're upper class, get dressed up in breeches and a red coat, you seem to get a free pass to chase innocent animals, destroy property (and , very often, people's precious pets) and then get off on watching a pack of specially trained dogs rip a defenceless wild animal to shreds with no repercussions.

Shooting is. Owning a gun isn't.

Making a thread which is entirely insults and mockery about people who you have decided are 'other' because they live their lives a tiny bit differently to you.

Oh wait - that double standard is in the opposite direction isn't it?

Mothers having different surnames to their children

This is so true - Brooklyn Beckham versus India Knight or Chelsea Clinton.

This!! With bells on top! @Cleanestpuppy has nailed it.

Along with the alcohol at breakfast, scruffy attire, not particularly au fait with personal hygiene, doing drugs, second language at home - thank you @Ninkynonkpinkyponks , this example is so on the money.

I'm in the UK, not the US. It means something entirely different here.
