to be sick of hearing the 'CLASS' card played on mn?

[mumzyof2]

Is it just me? Or is anyone else sick of hearing the class divide thing mentioned on here?
As soon as someone mentions disciplining children, supermarkets , etc, it turns into a big class debate!

Why?

Why, in this day and age, when there is such a MASSIVE range of people no living in the UK, do we still give a flying toot about peoples class?

i agree - as far as the co-operative employee ethos goes - waitrose rocks big time

I think unless you have a doctorate and a trust fund, you really ought to let your betters speak for you...

It will be in season, shortly

monster ... do you have hairy legs?

cremeanglaise? no... no, you haven't. you didn't.

I really think someone has to step forward and stand out for middle England here! There's nothing wrong with having a Smallbone kitchen, it does not make me a bad person.

Desi - I may be a hippy at heart, but I have my standards, and am VERY high maintenance. Bless you for asking.

Oh I must agree with you there, Creme. I wear my Waitrose hessian shopper with pride.

I never really understood the whole class thing...but then, I am german...what do I know...lol
tbh, sometimes it winds me up, and it does seem to be more of an MN thing...have not really experienced it on other Parenting forums...however...I love MN and love that you can have a real good debate without having to keep it all fluffy, so, to me, it's a small price to pay!

Thank you Sabayon. It's reassuring to find another voice of reason here.

I'm surprised you use the hessian shopper though - we got simply tonnes of the green bags with our account cards, didn't you?

See I don't think Smallbone is middle england

Middle england is more about lukewarm tea and cricket matches and caravans

Good lord, do you really think so? How ghastly that sounds. Although I think some of the more dubious members of my WI might have caravans.

We have a villa - would that count?

My housekeeper did, of course, Creme. I keep the hessian in the back of the 4x4, you know, for riding boots and the like.

.......and so it all kicks off again..........

It would depend, Creme. Is it in Spain?

Oh that makes more sense. We keep the gundogs' bowls in it.

Sabayon, dearest heart, I feel we have bonded all ready but I fear I must leave you - Sebastian is demanding a hot cocoa, and I have a dreadful feeling we are all out of the Charbonnel et Walker. He will be displeased.

A bientot!

....you girls are wicked , and certain to attract a crowd.....

...delightful. Have you tried for a 6:30 slot on radio4............lol........

Am I too late to this thread?

iT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR A BIT OF TURD

A bit of turd would be more than welcome.

What a refreshing smell.

JV .. has your Caps Lock stuck on?

I fear I may be accused of being "full of it"

I threw him on the toilet in the end, Puss. He did it, for the first time, in a toilet!

Unfortunately, no immediate happy ending. The problem is psychological, and it's making him ill. He now wants another pooh, but he won't do it.

He's a bright little lad. He knows well enough the connection between food and pooh, so he's stopped eating as well. He's eaten hardly anything for four days now.

It's really weird when something like this happens. This is a kid who could shit for England: as regular as clockwork from the day he was born. And all of a sudden, on Tuesday, no deal.

I'm worried about him, tbh. Thanks for asking, lovely. I hope your cold's getting better.
