Not to know what is middle class

[Goldchilled7up]

Inspired by another thread in chat, what does middle class mean to you?

I seriously don't know. Aibu?

Is Mellow Birds still around?!

My dear mother used to make me drink that revolting sensationally bland stuff when I was younger until I introduced her to the wonder that is Douwe Egberts

I don't know I'm glad you remember it, it was really not at all like coffee, was it?

I think MC can mean patronising, too concerned about social class. Marriedinwhite mentioned her MIL being rude about her hairdresser - stuff like that.

We call it the "bog" is that contrived compared to "shitter" do you think?

no room for a pony then

I can honestly say, given the choice between death by firing squad or a jar of Mellow Birds, I'd tie the blindfold myself.

It had a weird sort of nutty taste to it that wasn't quite right and that only appeared after taking a mouthful

not sure marriedinwhite - what about 'shi''ouse'? we like that one too.

Rarely in London ninah - except in the shitter or the bog

lol this thread is making me giggle for real.

i was very disappointed when i had begged my nanny to buy a jar of mellow birds and there was no smily face when i open it :(

yes, v suspicious, I wonder if it was chicory based?
i'd drink it rather than die though. I must have a wc palette
sponge finger?

Oh, I'd forgotten the smiley face!

Slaps self. Reminds self to behave. Must stumble up to bed soon.

Why, thank you ninah. Would you like a nice Tesco's Own freshly made Bakewell Tart? [Wink]

I meant on kim's estate
not in your shitter. Do you have paperbacks in the shitter? copies of QC? or piped music?

So go on Kim, which papers for which class?

Browses Telegraph

wipes arse with Sun and belches

Oh papers. DH reads the FT and I read the Torygraph on-line. We do not, however, iron the newspapers but I have been known to iron and roll wrapping paper

I read the Daily Mail for giggles and when I feel the need for a good frothing session

The rest of the time it's The Guardian :)

Papers - that's an interesting thought.

In our town, so few people read nowadays (I mean are seen reading, I assume they can read) that the sight of anyone settling down to read even a tabloid would be impressive.
