Middle class things

[Archie_tect]

Petit pois were on special offer, much better value + far cheaper than the Everyday Basics peas- I'd've been an idiot not to buy them.... and they do taste nice, especially quickly unfrozen in boiling water but still uncooked!

Depends if you're smacked off your face or not.

I am beginning to worry I am not middle class any more. I subsist mainly on tinned food and oven ready chips.

If you bought then from Asda then you are working class, but from Watrose then you are OK.

What about Sainsburys?

Is it ok to do the 'I like Sainsburys as they keep the riff-raff out of Waitrose' joke again.

 

[Yellow Fang]

If you need to ask, then you have answered your own question.

In that case why don't I know the answer to my question?

Don't ask Adrian, he doesn't know either.

Yebbut don't Waitrose try to tell us that they are no more expensive than the others these days.

I feel ashamed to shop in a dump like Waitrose, so on the way home I swap it into Harvey Nichols bags.

They're comparable with Fortnum's and Harvey Nicks yellow sticker stuff.

Is the guinea shop a posh Poundland, but with 5% more turnover?

Reminds me of the time when my son was working for my shopfitting company and asked a customer if he was opening a pound shop
"no, it's a bit classier than that" (slightly offended)
"What, a two pound shop then?"

 

[Gravity Aided]

I shop with the posh folk at TJ Maxx.

Although we joke there is a point behind this.
I am probably a bit "Sainsbury's" in that the people further down the scale may think of me as posh and so call me middle class but the old money middle class would still put me in the same group as they put their window cleaner.

I think there is a point at which you can be comfortable and able to deal with anyone at any level on the social scale.
