I was chatting with my friend today about houses and buying my own etc. Got onto a conversation about window sills. He tells me he has no sills on the outside of his house to which I reply.
Where there do you put your window boxes?
Apparently the most middle class thing I've ever said.
What's the most middle class thing you've said?
This thread was much more interesting in my head. I now realise it is not but I've made the commitment now. |

Said by me on the Kingfield road end terrace to a friend during a Woking match; "Well of course, the New World Symphony is all about his impression of America and it's beauty, but if you listen you can hear the 'old world' or the eastern European influences if you will being set free and forcing itself upon this New World, it's a conflict piece really in the same ilk as the 1812"
His response was to ask if I wanted a Snickers or a Mars Bar!  |

Since when did window boxes become the criteria by which a persons socio economic position in society were judged ?
Are there any possessions or activities that are the exclusive preserve of the middle classes ? |

I asked some friends I was going to see what was on the menu so that I would know what wine to bring (that in itself is a bit mid-class, I suppose!).
The answer came back "Coquille Saint-Jacques". Having a dad who was a lorry driver and a mum who cleans posh people' houses, I suddenly felt I'd 'arrived'...! |

"haha i have friends say im posh because i use a gravy boat and soup spoons as opposed to the pyrex jug and regular dessert spoons  Sx"
Surely one uses a gravy boat even if preparing dinner in the kitchen? |

All of the possessions indicate the presence of money - not class.
All of the possessions above are dated cliche.
There are skint upper class folk and stinking rich working class people.
Quoting stereotypes is us. |

"I prefer brie to camembert.
I actually did say this in the supermarket to my daughter - and we're not talking Waitrose either. The looks I got!"
do you know the difference between Brie and Camembert ?
If I don't wash my nob for a day I get Brie, leave it a week and I get Camembert...... |

LOL it was in Aldi at Christmas and we were deciding on what cheeses to have. I'd already got some really cheap stilton in the trolley. My sister in law is vegetarian so she eats tons of the stuff. We were just trying to give her a choice. |

We used to have celery salt when I was a kid - it came in one of those spice jars (Schwartzcopf?). We were far from middle class. |
