Middle class things

[screenman]

How many levels of snobbery is there?

Who's Will Self ?

That must make me working class I suppose.

South London Brompton rider/owner last time I saw him.

Of course you're middle class, so long as you have a man to open the tins for you.

That's a relief. Oh, wait a sec...

A local beef farmer drives down to London to do the Kensington, Westminster and Notting Hill farmers markets. The punters put on wellies to go to the Notting Hill Farmers Market.
He charges them what they deserve to pay and grins all the way back up the M1.

or even better

That's interesting. I actually took the test on the BBC website. I answered all the questions completely honestly. I ended up in 'Elite'. That conjures up pictures of A bloke in a wax Jacket, with an emptied shotgun cracked over his arm, and a hamper on the split of his Range Rover in the background, parked in front of his stately home. That isn't me at all, but I guess it is what it is. How bizarre.

Yes, 'I saw you coming' was in the front of my mind. When this farmer does the local markets he charges about the same as supermarket 'finest' or 'taste the indifference' which is fair for the quality of the stuff. However when he goes and flogs it to the bankers he takes them for every penny. Top man.

It's 'how many levels of snobbery are there' you grotty little man.

I can't reveal where I came in the BBC poll................

I am a middle class American, and an endangered species. I suppose some well meaning volunteers will be by soon to ensure my preservation.

Well I've heard of Bromptons. Are they middle class then ?

Also curious why 'South London' specifically ?

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

I just did that BBC survey, scored ok on wealth and social capital but could do better on culture. I scored Elite by lying about going to the theatre. What a load of nonsense.

 

[TVC]

I just did the test, apparently I'm Elite. I think not.

 

[Dan B]

According to the BBC thing I'm in the Elite.

I don't think I ever made it past Dangerous

Because he lives in Clapham? (or he did last time I saw him)

As to Bromptons, they try to be self-consciously class-less, but the price list tells another tale.

My shopping list for Sainsbury's includes bamboo shoots, chick peas and flageolet beans, but also ice-cream, frozen peas and super-noodles. I think we must be upper class. We're potless too, which seals the deal.
