Help! My son just touched a working class boy

[fairyfly]

What shall i wash him with?

(sorry thats an Annabel Karmel recipie tagine not an actual tagine of Annabel Karmel.... I'm not saying the middle class are cannibals or anything. Upper classes possibly but not the middle classes....)

fairyfly, I blame the parents--take some responsibilty, for goodness sake. How did you let him get so close?

Nowt wrong wi' twizzlers!
OMG what if the little working class lad now comes out with words like "Golly" and "Gosh" instead of "f*k me!" and "bllocks!"

And starts gelling his hair in spikes?

oh dear a working class boy.. isn't he the one who will be working when he is older not going on a gap year

pmsl at this thread. Not sure if this the right place to share but ....

I once outed myself as working class at an NCT meet by telling a Mum she should let her fractious toddler watch cbeebies as it calms dd down a treat.

Cue awkward silence and disapproving moues all round. I was covered in shame and never went back.

i know - working... instead of focusing efforts on gaining a place at Bath Uni to study Philosophy of Ancient Runes like any decent boy.

What if, what if he wants to do ballet lessons instead of rugby! Oh the horror of it all! Fairyfly, apologise to his parents immediately and offer full reimboursement for distress caused! It's the least you can do!

sorry bit of a hijack

has anybody else had problems setting up their internet connection with a block on working class material/sites

or is the encyclopaedia Britannica still in print

ProfY - you may just have got away with it as long as you didn't call lunch 'dinner'. did you???

thanks everyone for ignoring my post - just wanted to be aware if I had been the one that had started this thread and to explain myself if I had - again if it was me I did not mean to insult anyone and I am sorry if I was taken the wrong way!!

pmsl - I'm sure Custy won't mind me telling you this, but when she first moved dawn Sarf, her local priest said he'd call in for tea. She went into panic mode, buying brand new plates and stuff, until she realised he meant a cup of tea and not actually a meal!!!

Tutter - maybe that's where I went wrong! That or the sausage roll I fed to dd while their lo's were nibbling on crudities.

although if he does do ballet he could get a job as a dancer in Billy Elliot and so raise himself up from the working classes by becoming an "artist". Obviously his family will have to reject him initially and think him "queer".

mummygow, don't be paranoid, when a jokey thread like this starts, loads of posts are ignored because it's fast moving, nothing personal. If your post had been seen as insulting, trust me you'd have heard about it by now!

I use tea.

It is breakfast, lunch, tea (dd's) and dinner.

Or should dinner be supper?

Supper is a bowl of cornflakes surely?

tut tut custy

i'm sure she's had common (in the least common sense of course) knocked into her by now.

I believe its only dinner if one is dressed appropriately.

no no no oo

supper is when you invite friends for a light dinner, as in a mere pasta dish served with crusty bread and balsamic

Thanks blu the paranoia was pouring from me [wiping sweat from brow] - I hate to think that I upset anyone - oh well carry on!!

lol @ thickipedia

supper for me used to be a biscuit and a glass of milk before bed!

the ingredients of which you just happen to have in your walk in larder and throw together whilst laughing in a horse fashion at the price of Taramasalata's school fees
