Mrsjay Much like a standard fork but with higher calorie crumbs.

thebody · 29/05/2012 10:51

Never Mrs jay, funny post but I do think some on mn actually really DO care. Funny as!!

ScrambledSmegs · 29/05/2012 10:51

For some reason this thread makes me think of the sports commentator who said of a long distance runner

"and he just opened his legs and showed his class"

People eat cake with FORKS...? But how will they be able to lick the icing off their fingers afterwards if they don't eat with their hands?

MrsBucketxx · 29/05/2012 10:57

i always joke that how i knew my dh was the one, he had cake forks. a sexy man who loves cake swooon.

Who has all this cake? I need cake now!

WorraLiberty · 29/05/2012 11:01

toofattorun I have just realised after ages and ages that your NN is not tattooforum Blush

NicNocJnr · 29/05/2012 11:16

I like using a cake fork!

I did let the side down by expressing interest in a special pea fork but I think I regained some points when I cats bummed about someone licking a knife.

My darling departed great grandma used to have wonderful pretensions so my great grandfather used to tip his tea into the saucer in order to drink it and also used to hand out sugar sandwiches, serve beef dripping for supper and leave his shirt untucked in company because he was a dreadful rebel!

WFT do you care??

summerintherosegarden · 29/05/2012 11:30

I have cake manic, which I shall of course be eating with a fork - cake with a spoon is so wrong; you can't get a nice clean edge and it doesn't feel as nice in your mouth for some reason.

manicbmc · 29/05/2012 11:35

CAKE!!!!

Psammead · 29/05/2012 11:45

I am very working class, but I can't imagine serving cake without a cake fork!

How did I become such a class traitor?

toofattorun · 29/05/2012 13:22

Worraliberty I feel a sudden urge to fuck up my appearance even further get a few tatoos and set up a forum!

toofattorun · 29/05/2012 13:23

Tattoos not tatoos... Lo siento

boaty · 29/05/2012 13:36

My gran had fish forks and cake knives and spoke ever so naicly on the phone phone box at end of road Grin
We grew up in council house with a single employed mum.
We live in a council house ourselves but dc went to indie schools bursaries/scholarships I work in retail........
I don't watch Jeremy Kyle
I have my own teeth Wink
I'm clueless let alone classless!! Grin

DorothyGherkins · 29/05/2012 13:41

I m pure class. But it bothers me not which one. I think its nice to vacillate a bit.

RandomAdams · 29/05/2012 13:49

I am first class.

[sorry could not resist emoticon]

MrsBucketxx · 29/05/2012 15:33

mn is doing nothing for my diet i have just demolished two cup cakes.

from ASDA Shock see not classy at all.

manicbmc · 29/05/2012 15:49

Did you use a cake fork? Hmm

Freshletticia · 29/05/2012 15:54

My DM comes from solid, hard-working working-class parents, she went to grammar school (scholarship) and TT College as they couldn't afford Uni and became a schoolteacher. Woe betide me should I put the milk carton on the table. We must have a jug and a sugar bowl and side plates and serving dishes FFS.
I have a first class degree and good scientific post in the civil service as does DH.
His mum doesn't possess a milk jug or a serving dish to her name. Guess who is easier to have over for dinner?
Arf at the cake forks. If I take Mum out shopping we have to have coffee at M&S and she must have a cake fork.

MrsBucketxx · 29/05/2012 15:54

although i have them in the draw. i couldnt eat them fast enough so no fork.

Freshletticia · 29/05/2012 15:56

Oh and she reckons fish knives are vulgar. Hahaha.
Unfortunately I have inherited her love of trays and fancy doilies.Grin

manicbmc · 29/05/2012 16:02

I'm still waiting for my cake here. No cake Sad , only biscuits.

Pixieonthemoor · 29/05/2012 18:01

Class, as with beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. I am either M, UM or U depending on who is doing the assessing. Frankly I couldn't give a stuff and you either like me or you don't - it's entirely up to you. I am NOT the one with the problem (can you detect that I sometimes feel under fire just because of my accent/interests/way I live?!!!). Gah!!

slowestwildebeast · 29/05/2012 18:10

do you have pubes or no pubes? This can identify class quickly :)
