we also had (in M&S in Chiswick) - from a dad, shopping on his own with his 3 boys. At the front of the till, realising they had forgotten the croissants and sending one of the boys back....

'Jacob, Jacoby, Jacoby dahhhhrling, don't choose those ones. You know mummy only likes the all butter ones dahhhhrling'

Don't tell the green and blacks

Do they look down on their neighbours the Marks and the Spencers, a little too down market?

i htink there shodul be a sinister undercurrent
when we went to posh swimming lessons there was this really menacing dad who used to almost shout at his kdi to get chnaged for " cooking lessons"

dh once very bravely muttered TOSSEr too loudly not so under his breath

there was also a mum who had pain au chocolat and hot chocolate for tabitha( fat ) wwhen she cme out of the pool

one of our friend's state schools is so middle class than when they had a trip organised, so many parents were keen to be involved, they had to run a ballot to see who got to go

sisters kids shcool fete is so ra they have all the um hwo make jewlwlery floggin their gear there.

ours is NOT.

endof terms hcool balls make m laugh as if you want to party wiht mums fom shcool

lol at poor tabitha

oh dear the Bodens sound like me: "not properly posh" (if only).
I even have a long haired son.

And I wanted to call our labrador Boden.

imagient he hshame of claling fo it

imagient he hshame of claling fo it

dh refused to walk it with that name.

(current name just as poncey though)

I saw Boden daddy and sons in Waitrose asking at the fish counter, "Do you have any fresh pike?" and looking most upset when told no.

Don't forget that the Bodens probably buy 'aspirational Toileteries' from Waitrose as well

Seriously, Johnny Boden has made a killing floggin his gear cos he's tapped into the fact that we all secretly want to be upper middle class, country-types, who have 2nd homes and send our kids to private schools , given the odd spare £50K a year- don't we??? and if we wear his clothes it makes us feel we're a tiny bit further along that road- fat chance!

snigger.

it's a bit of a way of life for some women around us (officer's wife uniform) and sooooo annoying. You're IN if you wear it and your kids are head to toe boden. Makes me laugh. - Asda and tesco do really nice stuff too!
