I just saw a thread where someone admitted to watching tv ( ITV no less) in the day.

It MN was middle class before I joined, then I brought it down a class or two, sorry.

I'm watching the racing on my wall mounted TV right now (well, it's on in the background while I work). It's jump racing so not posh at all. In fact, it's Ladies' Day at Aintree so it's about as unposh as you can get Grin. I'm not wearing leggings though.

I'm watching tv on the bastard 50" my husband decided was a bargain right now AND I'm actually watching Britain's Home Truths with Colin Jackson looking at the history of council Housing in the U.K.

Am I bringing the tone down? 😂

I'm always baffled by what people consider as middle class characteristics.

VladmirsPoutine · 13/04/2018 15:05

Oh FFS!

MargotLovedTom1 · 13/04/2018 15:06

I didn't realise jump racing is non-U Wink. I thought the flat would be more declasse - all instant gratification and whatnot.

Was ITV acceptable when Downton was on?

VladmirsPoutine · 13/04/2018 15:07

Not only have you nicked my NN you've also started a goady pointless thread.

MissWilmottsGhost · 13/04/2018 15:09

Same here Lweji

Despite being British and possibly middle class.

A lot less mc. Some poor OPs have had a proper pounding for starting threads poking fun at the poor and lower classes Shock! Whatever next.

paxillin · 13/04/2018 15:11

Start a thread in site stuff, @VladmirsPoutine. I did when triple-L paxilllin turned up. S/he's gone.

Mydoghatesthebath · 13/04/2018 15:14

I have on leggings as we discuss.

It was very London centric middle class NCT loving granola eating left wing leaning child calling Edith and Arthur when I joined back 10 years ago.

Much better now the midlands and the northern Birds on board Grin oh and those other extremities Grin

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 13/04/2018 15:14

The term is mc is meaningless in 2018. I have a degree, original art on the walls, trust funds for both dc, white van on the drive, white pvc front door etc. Nobody gives a fuck.

MargotLovedTom1 · 13/04/2018 15:14

I can see the problem with 'paxillin' and 'paxilllin', but 'VladPutin' and 'ValdimirsPoutine'? Nah.

VladPutin · 13/04/2018 15:16

I can't hate Stacey Solomon but why is liking her wrong....who do you like vlad? Is it Kirsty Allsoppy? Grin

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 13/04/2018 15:24

I can't hate? I meant can't bare her! Bloody autocorrect

paxillin · 13/04/2018 15:25

I agree with @VladmirsPoutine that this is a little close, @VladPutin. Your name is 5 days old, so you wouldn't lose much posting history.

VladPutin · 13/04/2018 15:25

Argh. I can't believe I was sucked in by fake vlad serves me right for not rtft.

paxillin · 13/04/2018 15:27

Then why not chose one that doesn't get you mixed up with a regular?

Mydoghatesthebath · 13/04/2018 15:27

What’s wrong with stace? Apart from her hair the other day. I like her

VladPutin · 13/04/2018 15:28
