Aibu to wonder how the Upper Middle class are surviving with all the ski trips, Xmas in the Caribbean & weekends in Norfolk?

Just that... Old friends of ours are part of the UMC set & pre covid had at least 2 ski trips a year, Xmas in Antigua, Safaris in South Africa & most weekends spent with "mummy & daddy" in Norfolk.... Obviously there are plenty like them. We haven't heard much from them over the years, lovely family but we drifted.. I'm pondering out load really, are the UMC making the most of lockdown or secretly breaking all the rules! This couple were fairly active on social media up until lockdown!

I'm sure your charitable works put us all to shame, Mrs U. It's just so good of you to think of the OP. I don't know how you find the time, what with managing the staff, maintaining a cheering presence for the villagers and planning your own holidays. You're a marvel, truly!

@lazylinguist. I'm afraid I can't take all the credit. My social secretary, Miss Murcastle, is an absolute gem!

Not sneering just genuinely interested.... Everyone is missing out on normality but i just wondered how the UMC who were so active are coping that is all.... Not jealous, just curious...

That’s not an upper middle class lifestyle, it’s a wealthy lifestyle. They’re not synonymous.

OP I’m sure you’ll be glad to hear this thread inspired me to book a long weekend in Norfolk in the summer
