Do your parents have to vet any new men friends that you are interested in, or are all the new suitors,wise enough to give them a miss, and go for more of a higher class situation in life.

Wen I was a gal Mummy would invite any nice young men for kitchen sups. If any of them complimented ‘dessert’ or asked for a ‘serviette’ Daddy would chase them away with his shotgun.

Wen the time comes me and Mr Living will do the same for our MC moppets

Everything downstairs is wooden (not a euphemism) excepting the granite floored kitchen. Obviously.

Is it your new year resolution to relax the pressure on your over-scheduled children or to crow bar more in?

Single2catsand1daughter · 03/01/2020 18:01

Do you go to the loo, ladies or lavatory?

Frankly unless it is stocked in Berry Bros & Rudd (it’s not) it will not grace the Living table. Ew

Why wood I wish to see someone’s feet hosed or unhosed? This is not Middle Class.

Where is the best place to buy a fire pit? Do you ski in France or Switzerland?

Wauden · 03/01/2020 18:05

Is it ever acceptable to use an omnibus?
Do you or anyone flick their hair around, let it fall forward, then flick it back again? Thereby making a statement of sorts.
It it acceptable to live near a council estate (not in one) with a mixed reputation?

Sewingbea · 03/01/2020 18:05

What do you think are suitably middle class names to call one's offspring?

LivingTheThighLife · 03/01/2020 18:06
