Is using "Regina blitz" a sign of being middle class?

[Creambun2]

Was told that buying regina blitz kitchen roll is pretentious and a middle class excess?

Anyone agree?

Oh I love a bit of Regina Blitz action. All other kitchen rolls are dead to me.

There was a time when my Friday nights involved getting ready to go out with my friends, while drinking a bottle of wine and listening to loud music.

Then off out to a pub/nightclub until the early hours. Finished off with a takeaway and getting home around 3am with blisters on my feet.

Where did it all go wrong? Why am I enthusiastically discussing Morrison's kitchen towel, whilst sitting in my pyjamas waiting for the news to start?

I only ever buy value kitchen roll, or possibly a brand if on offer makes it cheaper. Kitchen roll is on my 'just get whatevers cheapest' list.

Oooooooh if it's a steaming product does Gwennie use it to steam her vag?

Oh now I've read Halebeke's post I feel much better

I'm now in a kitchen towel gang.

That's crazy, whoever said that to you! It's a giant roll, and you only need 1 sheet, so it actually works out cheaper than cheap kitchen roll where it disintegrates straight away. Besides, it's often half price in certain supermarkets, hardly middle class!

100% cotton towels. Use wash repeat.

Kitchen roll definitely infra dig to the middle classes as is fabric conditioner

Can't believe I'm reading this on a Friday night. What the fuck happened to my life?!

Well speaking as someone who lives in an area where our shops have more shoplifters than customers I would have to say that I would not associate Regina Blitz with middle class. The corner shop seems to go through mountains of the stuff!

All kitchen towels are shite compared to this amazing stuff

Ooh NatMat I must be posher than I thought! I use washable cloths. Although that might just make me a hippy.

We generally just leave kitchen spillages to animals- upper level- the feline, ground level canine .

Just use a tea towel. Paper towels aren't v eco friendly...(Not sure what that makes me!?)

Literally never heard of it. Ocado deliver me Waitrose Ecological recycled stuff when necessary - which I think answers the class question to 3 decimal places.

Regina Blitz would be an excellent name for a band.
It's probably more middle class than Juan Shit, sorry ... Sheet, and whatever the hell he advertised.

Ok, so as far as I can make out, Regina Blitz is either...
A song by a mediocre glam rock band
A type of 'vaginal cleansing' product
A disposable cloth for mopping up spills
Or a
Particularly patriotic bombing spree during WWII

It's beyond me how some people can be judgemental about such mundane things as kitchen roll. I use kitchen roll from Lidl every day but have rolls of Regina Blitz too, which I use when I want something stronger. WTF does that have to do with pretentiousness? It's just using whatever does the required job the best. It's only kitchen roll for goodness sake.

I've never heard of it either and I'm decidedly middle class

Ah yes, Margo - 'Juan Shit smells Plenty' as we used to call that...

Costco do a pretty good version. We get PILs to buy us a load when they come over.

It's just a kitchen roll. No need to overthink it. Buy it if you like it, don't if you don't. End of.

No, it's the opposite. The lower your class, the posher your loo and kitchen paper. It's an inverse thing. Only the working classes think Andrex makes them sophisticated and having 'a little bit of luxury.'

Whereas I suppose the poshos are happy with some old sandpaper found in the under gardener's tool shed.

And maybe the really, really, posh don't wipe at all. Only the hoi polloi worry about having a clean bumhole.
