What animals do you own and what are their names?

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 03/01/2020 21:00

Middletons - aspirational or arriviste?

And when you call things "common", one presumes you mean frequently encountered. Ahem.

Marmite and Bovril the black labs
Fernando the cat
Sergeant the horse

Oh dear. Thank you for the advice. He likes a Macallan but when we go to Ballynahinch for the salmon, should he take Wild Geese to Teeling?

CherryPavlova · 03/01/2020 21:08

No You are an imposter! Alternatively, you must be from north London.
Nobody would really call their dog’s Marmite and Bovril. The beaters would laugh them back to the pub.

Middletons - aspirational or arriviste?

Personally I would suggest vulgarian

And when you call things "common", one presumes you mean frequently encountered. Ahem.
Sure ... if that makes you feel comfortable

Absurd comment! Shock My poor labs would never go anywhere near a shooting party - some of us Middle Class folk are a little more progressive these days.

If one is at a naice dinner party and someone asks you a question just when one has put a silver fork-ful of (Duchy Organic) supper into one's mouth, what should one do?

Booberella9 · 03/01/2020 22:23

Is it ever acceptable to not go on holiday in a year, to save money? Or are 3 holidays per year required to maintain MC status?
