Is it ever acceptable to use an omnibus?
An old fashioned Routemaster is an amusing transport option for wedding guests.

Do you or anyone flick their hair around, let it fall forward, then flick it back again. Thereby making a statement of sorts.
Hair flicking is very common. I do not require my hair to make statements on my behalf.

It it acceptable to live near a council estate (not in one) with a mixed reputation?
Only if your family property pre-dates said estate.

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

Charles Edward Henry and George would suit a lovely Middle Class boy
Charlotte Elizabeth would be suitable for a naice girl

Defiantly not Diana or Camilla
