I am a fairly new Mnetter and on a number of threads I have seen people using 'middle class' as derogatory term. Can I ask why or will I be called a troll?

P.s what is a troll? And can I be one with rainbow hair - as I always wanted that one when I was 12!

Oh the Americans are as class-ridden as we are- they just don't admit to it. What's Jerry Springer all about?

i dont even know who david lodge is, probably because i dont read books, there are no books in my house apart from the ones my chidren read

does that make me under class?

I have no notion what class I am.
I did get sneered at as middle class once - a middle class WI type if I remember correctly.

Nothing to add to the thread- just wanted to say hello to TerryWogansCock.
I thought you'd left
But you haven't

Paggy- you are ruling class: queen of all you survey, and quite right too

I think TerryWogansCock is in a class all its own, and we are all prostrate before it...

TerryWogansCock · 22/04/2010 15:35

hello deaddei

bof i think you may be right

Hey BoF .

My mum happily tells everyone she is 'bog Irish' and gets quite annoyed if anyone disagrees. it does conjure a certain charm

deaddei · 22/04/2010 15:41

Oh pagwatch, I do like your house

MorrisZapp, how pithily DL puts it.
TWCock - David Lodge is a literary god, in a class of his own .

I've also noticed that the middle class are supposed to be evil. Often wondered why!

From my observations I've worked out the following

Upper Class
Middle Class
Working Class
Jeremy Kyle Class
Mumsnetters With Bad Attitude Class
Jade Goody's mum/ Kerry Katona

I think I am a Scruff. It's Bohemian with less pretension to glamour. And probably more pets. And less velvet and patchouli.
