Mumsnet just isn't middle class any more is it?

[VladPutin]

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

The only kid who wasn't allowed to watch tv when I was at school was a Jehovah's Witness. She was the brightest kid in the school.

I'm so middle class I wasn't allowed a Barbie as a child and I don't know whether to be proud, ashamed or ambivalent about it. That's what MN has done to me.

OMFG this thread is brilliant!
im not middle class, never have been, I don't drink alcohol but if I did, every strike of the clock could be wine-o-clock (its 10pm somewhere in the world ;-).
I don't wear leggings but thats only because I look like waynetta slob if I do.
Im sweary and have terrible grammar but, I don't have a TV, or a smartphone and I live in a fairly nice area of my city.
that said I have 8 kids and I'm a single parent- by those standards I'm probably considered the 'underclass'.

Why keep ketchup in the fridge? who wants cold ketchup on their food? (I think ketchup of whatever temperature is horrible, but can see that for those who like it, room temperature is preferable, so cupboard it is. What does that make me? Unhygienic? wc? mc?)

Oh shit, distracted by this thread and my puy lentils are overcooked. Horreur!

Haasled I was allowed a Sindy doll but not a barbie, I have no idea why.

And my mother was horrified when I announced I was going to watch the new and exciting soap, Eastenders. She was even more horrified when channel 4 started and caught me watching Brookside. She still doesn't watch tv and I still love my soaps

Fucking yogurt has a lot to answer for these days.

Why are you fucking yogurt halfwitpicker?

Honestly, I'm fucking dis custard.

my mum used to say 'a posh person has a butter knife, but a really posh person knows he has a butter knife..'

WTF!!!

Do middle class people wear dungarees while licking the yoghurt pot lid? I'm wearing a tracksuit which is probably a sin.

Remember when doorbells would cause wavy lines on your TV?

Of course, nobody on MN has a doorbell, or even any visitors who might ring it because any visits are arranged a week in advance, so it's no longer a problem.

Off shopping now; it's a shoes off house so I'm by the front door; terrible dilemma: I want to wear the comfy Uggs, but it's Waitrose where I'm going, so I'm picking up my trainers, realising I'm not wearing socks, but I'm in a hurry, so the Reeboks are going on my bare feet, terrible MN sin!

I wasn't allowed to watch itv as a child. Or Grange Hill.

I want this track suit:

Obviously the one worn by the gorgeous Damon Albarn and not the 'jogger'.

I never understand why being middle class is seen as being quite so attractive - I quite enjoy being a binge-drinking tracksuit-wearing slattern.

Stealing someone's user name is certainly not MC. Perhaps, dear new OP, watching ITV in the day may give you the opportunity to be more original.

Middle clarse? Oh how vulgar, one simply does not discuss such matters in front of the starf.

And I have a bog brush. Next to the loo. Which is clearly logical.

YANBU. People cut carrots into rounds on here. They wouldn't know a baton if it knocked on the door and came in without removing it's shoes.

Oh forgot to add. Today I am not wearing leggings. It is casual Friday so have jeans on. Naice ones. with trainers (with socks). Just in case you needed to know.

common as muck, me

I also just read someone's very middle class choice of milk. I didn't even think you could get middle class milk.

Couldn’t resist

DropItLikeASquat wins the thread! 8 children? You win any thread you go on!
