Recent visit to DM and she comment on DCs off white vest UNDER sleepsuit.

Apparently people will think we are ‘poor, rough and like those pp (pupil premium or something) kids at school’. It’s not just her apparently she’s heard it many times from others too.

I’m raging, do people actually judge children based on their parents not separating whites when washing. Is that even a thing? I’ve never ever thought of it EVER.

I'm talking my Southern levels of ignorance here, pyongyang, so I meant Watford but a bit more thought would have reminded me it should be Watford Gap. But north of either, you're definitely a southerner at heart or by ancestry. The bread reveals allSmile

Bread and butter with fish and chips was always a thing. You still see it in pensioner specials at cafes now - small fish and chips, bread and butter and a pot of tea. Is this not a National thing? I'm not a fan, bread in addition to fish and chips is too much and believe me I am no competitive under eater!

You've made think now DrCoconut. Fish and chips - occasionally and probably on holiday - on plates at a table, not from the wrapping, by the sea were usually served up with bread and butter. Dont recall whether we ate it or not. Possibly not. I know I'd never heard of a 'chip butty' before the Beatles mentioned them as an essential part of
childhood. Chips in a sandwich Shock

@longwayoff

I am in fact a Midlander which means I am neither one thing nor the other :o I am a Southerner to Northerners and a Northerner to Southerners, which might explain a lot!

This thread reminds me of a discussion I had with a friend a while ago.

She asked her DH to do the shopping once (with a list) and he was horrified to find out that she had been using Aldi washing powder (for years- not sure if she told him that!) He insisted that from that point on they swap to Persil or Arial because he didn't want to 'smell like Council Estate people'. WTAF

There was a thread on here years ago in which a post mentioned how her mother claimed 'you could tell a lot from the state of the skirting boards in someone's house'

I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve looked at our skirting boards since moving in...let alone anyone else’s!

The stupid thing is that really rich posh people often have very untidy houses. For example, if you read the autobiography of Ivana Lowell, the daughter of Lady Caroline Blackwood you can see she was raised in squalor. That wasn't anything unusual. When the TV broke, they bought a new one and just plonked it on top of the old broken one.
