Went in a cafe of the wrong class today. [sad face]

[TiggyD]

There were 2 cafes near each other. I picked the wrong one. I'm lower middle class and the cafe was for middle middle class to about lower upper class. I should have guessed by the little accent they put over the 'e' in the name.

I went in and up to the counter and asked for a sausage roll and a hot chocolate and they didn't give it to me. I was told to go sit at a table. My sausage roll came served on a plate with salad which, and you might not believe this, somebody had drizzled on! I'm guessing it was basil oil or some such frippery, although the cafe with an accent was next to a boating lake the same colour.

I should have gone to the other one where I'm sure I could have just taken the sausage roll in a bag or on a paper plate without being drizzled at.

It's hard being English.

Watch out! The Fun Police have arrived.

Loving the dual egg cups there, Talc. DS would think that was breakfast heaven.

Is fridge kept keans that odd thing where you don't wash your denim and you freeze it to kill the whiff-making bacteria?

Toodles is still recovering from her humour bypass operation, I see...

I couldn't go to a Mumsnet meet up either. All those middle class Women sneering at me

KS I am looking forward to losing my maidenhead to a Gregg's sausage roll on the morrow...

I arranged a meet up once. One of us was heartily sick on the pavement. T'was a good night.

But which shelf do you keep your jeans on?

Veg drawer? Bottom shelf? Next to the olives?

Get two MaQ
One is never enough, two is much more satisfying

I remember keeping pyjamas and pants in the fridge during a really hot summer when dh and I first met. Mm mm ice cold pants.

Toodles, Toodles being in the wrong class cafe is very traumatising it is like accidentally finding yourself in Paris went you meant to go to Ilkley.

My sister has jam jars for wine. At a recent gathering I used a pint glass just to make a point.

hazy I can see the appeal! My concern would be that jeans might shrink even more than they do in the wash (and they absolutely do shrink - it's not just me getting bigger. Ahem)

I reckon you'd need to keep them below your ready to eat foods but above your raw meat, so - middle shelf?

I'm sure I've been to hipster cafes which have flaunted* their paper serviettes in a radical "aren't we witty and retro?" way.

*I'm reclaiming word from Daily Mail. It's a good word, and they shouldn't have a monopoly on its use.

I'm still weeping for the poor man who got the wrong type of non-tea bag, and wasn't taken seriously enough. He was a senior contributor to TripAdvisor, you'd have thought the police would have treated him with a bit of deference, wouldn't you?

I can recall drinking pints of wine yes, out of actual pint glasses, whilst at university...classy, me and, very, very pissed

Has anyone else come across these strange new glass tea things that look a bit like a cafetiere thing? They have hot water and leaves in that they then stand on top of a normal teapot & it filters through into the pot below????

A friend & I got this when we asked for a pot of tea in a place the other day. Totally bemused - I mean just put the bloody tea in the pot FFS it didn't need another process - was weak as piss as well!

We ahve the best cafe in our village it's called Nice Baps

No, its all Stump pots round here, with the basket insert. They work well.

maQ - its the people who might have done that but can't recall it who should worry.

Well, I went to my local Greggs (in a petrol station, no less) today. I was very disappointing, my cheese and onion pasty was cold, I wasn't offered a dipping sauce and the toffee apple donut I had was unpleasant I like their sarnies and greggsnutts, I'll stick with them next time.

*disappointED

Erroll I could always remember the first pint of wine, the rest...not so much

Oh SS you are very, very bad girl...but, I love you long time, anyway...
