middle class

[southeastastra]

why is it so important for them to all conform to a certain standard

the right playschool, the right school, university, job

the right clothes, politically correct opinions, cars. does it not get suffocating to conform?

Is this a joke?

Who are the mysterious "them"?

no, i am not middle class

They dont see it as 'conforming'. You do. Its who they are, what they know and were bought up with. Does it bother you? Do you want to be part of it and feel you aren't ? Be/enjoy being you.

Why is so important for mumsnetters to all confirm to a certain standard? Or black people, or muslim people, or homosexual people?

They don't of course, and neither does the entire middle class.

You're talking twaddle.

I think this is a ridiculous generalisation.

oh i lovesooty hello

did you politically incorrect post on mumsnet klaxton sound

Pahahaaa. What a load of bollocks.

You ok southeast [head tilt]?

Don't remember you posting such rubbish before.

You are speaking utter shit.

You're not making sense - or at least you seem to be spoiling for a fight.

I think your OP is flawed and a sweeping generalisation and I wasn't the only person to say so.

Whatever ilovesooty did, or if, your post is still a ridiculous generalisation.

Hi. SEA.

i say it as i see

i live in herts where there is an abundance of independent schools, just find it interesting/nuts

Oh you always seemed sensible.
I appear to be mc. DH def is. Can you give me a checklist because I don't know what I am supposed to be doing?

Years ago my friend's mum said (rather cynically) that middle class people all had to do the same thing as everyone else or they'd all be looking down their noses at each other.

I think it came out of a conversation when she said "Keeping up with the Jones's" about a neighbour of hers and us kids didn't know what she meant.

Pissed or hacked account southeast?

the world isn't a better place for all the middle class/upper class meddling. we are in a worse global state than we have ever been in. all that education all that sacrifice for what?

Could somebody pass the hummus?

I'm middle class and I love it.

I almost went to live in Herts, but it sounds like Farts so I couldn't possibly live there.

So I live in Shorditch which rhymes with Rich and hopefully I will be, one day. Is that a problem?

You live in Shoreditch? Do you have a beard and ride a penny farthing

I'm middle class and I love it.

I was just going to post this. Except, I was going to say, "I'm middle class and I'm awesome." Because I'm American, and we say "awesome," a lot. :)

LemonRedwood, I have three different varieties of hummus right now, which I bought at Costco. Because all of us middle class people belong to Costco. I have regular, garlic, and sun-dried tomato. Which would you prefer?

Is it the garlic hummus with the dollop of minced garlic in the middle? That one is lush and I'll deffo have some.

There is no Costco in my state. I'm reduced to shopping at Walmart.

What is your point SEA? The middle class is shit? We should have stayed on the bottom and left the uppers to it? We should have sent the clever but poor down the mines? Left the meritocracy to rot on the fields of privilege?
Bolshevism?
