He is in dire need of a facial and/or a dermatologist!

Ronald Yes! I did momentarily hesitate at posting this but reasoned that if it had been AIBU to think George Osborne has a look of toff about him, it would be OK.

Mumsnet is v odd: the Boden/Joules/Jigsaw wearing, Mark Warner holidaying, Aubergine sauteeing champions of the working classes.

I just fail to see the need to discuss it. Why is it an issue? If he does have ''a working class face'' what of it?

thunderduck, cos MN is the place to discuss all manner of worthless shite, thats why

surely you knew that?

QuintessentialShadow · 17/04/2009 13:48

even as a child people commented on my aristocratic face

I dont know who you are referring to swedes, but I am sure there are "working class faces" as long as there are people with preconceptions as to what a working class person looks like.

Ronaldhino - I agree re Princesses B and E.

I give you working class face exhibit one

But see also John Terry and Tony Parsons (he even wears working class shirts to match the face).

I think you can have a common looking face, I have one al a bit squidgy and non descript.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 17/04/2009 14:10

dinosaur I did wonder! I went , and then thought 'maybe she is joking'!

cornsilk · 17/04/2009 14:17

hmmm, not sure.

memoo · 17/04/2009 14:25

i think he looks like a miserable inbred tory fuckwit tbh

Us working classes actually have quite nice faces you know! especailly after we take our weekly bath and wash away all the muck from being down the coal mine!

diedandgonetodevon · 17/04/2009 14:28

No idea who DM is but YANBU, would agree that Dinosaurs link chappy does also

franke · 17/04/2009 14:37

Not only does he have a working class face but he is apparently only 34 years old

valleysprincess · 17/04/2009 14:42

Yes he has a working class face. I think it's something to do with too much pot noodle and white bread in early childhood

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 17/04/2009 14:56

He has a face like a slab of Asda Smart Price tinned corned beef.

Franke - Yes, I was deeply shocked at him being only 34.

I want to nominate these two quotes for quote of the week:

Grumpyoldcaaaaa's "face like a slab of Asda Smart Price tinned corned beef" and

valleysprincess's "too much pot noodle and white bread in early childhood"

BigBellasBeerBelly · 17/04/2009 18:56

What? He is younger than me?

That is the most preposterous thing I have ever heard.

Gentle · 17/04/2009 19:05

Swedes 34?!!?!

I just googled him to check I was thinking of the right person and my first thought was "Not too bad for someone in their late 50s"

EdwardCullensWife · 17/04/2009 19:07

I've met Damian many times. He's a bit of a character.

hf128219 · 17/04/2009 19:08

It's all in the breeding.

Habbibu · 17/04/2009 19:09

My first thought was overfed Tory boy, but it's not the best picture on which to judge. I mean, we'll need close-up 3d images on which to do the phrenology, and determine whether he has a working class face based on a working class skull.
