Full disclosure: I'm slightly fascinated by the posters here who won't wash their hands on a towel at someone else's house, buy cakes at a school fair or use a public toilet for fear of germs, and admit to being the sort of person who eats stuff past the sell-by date if it passes the sniff test
But I've just spent a couple of days working at a food fair type thing and noticed a definite class divide in germ tolerance
There was no end of stereotypical posh families who would share their ice cream with the Labrador, eat food that had fallen on the floor etc
And the mums (it was always the mums) who were obsessively wet wiping everything were non-posh
Can you prove or debunk my theory?
And if I'm right, why are the upper classes so relaxed about dirt?

Germphobia is a class thing, isn't it?
