to think the working class have the cleanest homes?

[dovebird]

out of the people i know, the working class ones have spotless homes.

the middleclass ones seem alot more messier and nowhere near as spick and span.
they also tend to dress their children in odd socks etc.

anyone else noticed this?

Do you scrub your doorstep hilly?

Well you do not need to scrub a doorstep nowadays do you ? A wipe with a cloth on the old upvc all done !!

you are wrong.

my staff keep my house ver' ver' clean.

I shall send the scullery maid to clean the step, this instant.

No. My maid does it.

oh yeah the uc don't care, their cars are splatted with mud and they are covered in dog hairs lol
that was completey true about canteen food,the wc and uc kids diving in.

My car is also splattered with mud!

piji, what does it say in thta book about why we say sorry if someone else bumps into us?

looks a good book that one.

well of course the car splattered with mud it is tough going driving over ones estate

The working class are always cleaning their steps aren't they "and they've got toast between their teeth"

Hahahahahahaha

Those programs about hoarders...they are always middle class. Piles and piles of the Gaurdian in their house.

Ah yes but Kim and Aggie they had working class people didn't they

Op, you are getting a lot of stick but you are right and have made a valid point.
See piji's post above re. Kate Fox's book.

An interesting read re. the differences in classes

it's probably quite fun to class people by how clean their homes are

the real upper class let their dogs crap everywhere

Oh oh oh. I clean ALL the landing in my council block AND my window sills, and the window sills of both neighbours. That must make me Queen of the working class.

Radiator- I do feel superior to you. Thanks. Only now your socks look like cashmere, all that fluffy dust so people might accidentally think you are better than me

That book looks like a cracking read, Ive just ordered it off Amazon.

I'm a lot poshet than I thought.

I clean my doorstep and I brush the public footpath infront of my house too

Actually where I come from (but not where I am now) I think there's an element of truth to this, but probably moreso 20 years ago than now.

Haha! Maybe! Dunno, my house is quite messy. but I love a bit of class war me, can I join in?

House is messy BUT yes, I keep the front yard and pavement outside swept and clean and tidy! And I love shiney windows....

I will admit to odd socks. With boots who notices? Or cares? Why waste socks that are OK except they don't match?

Nope! You are wrong-socks must stay with their brothers
