Friday fun .... How middle class are you?

[Flying_Monkey]

Some things don't work for Canada - having a wood stove just... keeps you alive in winter. You're more middle class if you have a house that's so well insulated that you don't need a wood stove.

Surely a bread maker and espresso machine would be better than a BBQ and hot tub?

If those were on the list, I'd be laughing and definitively middle class.

Yep...


and double points if the espresso machine is bean to cup.

You get triple points if you keep your own sourdough starter in the utility room/scullery and quadruple points if it's over a year old.

I'm having double points then, but my flour is only organic.

If those were on the list, I'd be laughing and definitively middle class.

I'd be laughing as well if somebody said you were middle class.

Only 1 now (*), but that is Mrs SBs iMac that I am allowed to use under sufferance. So technically I'm cut from the common clod.


*No 2 would have been the Brompton but it is no longer in my stable of bikes. I just couldn't part with my Birdy.

1..BBQ ,i have a wood burner in the back garden does that count, I'm not even a little bit middle class, working class and proud .

 

[pplpilot]

Ashamed to say it but 12... gulp, I've become middle class without knowing. I don't have Hot tub, Aga, Brompton or a posh bag.

4.

A Dyson along with a hot tub will never cross my threshold.

It's Miele or nothing that the cleaner of my house uses.

They laughed at my first world problems in the office, when I complained that the coffee machine had broken down and I was having to resort to a grinder and cafetiere.

It's no laughing matter.

I started with a DeLonghi espresso machine that burst it's seals after a few years. As a stop gap I had a Lavazza pod machine that couldn't make anything like an espresso.

Finally after a twitchy week I got hold of a Gaggia that did a brilliant job, until I found a good deal on my DeLonghi bean to cup.

The Gaggia is now safely in storage in case of any future emergencies.

Only the one, I do have some vinyl.

Vinyl is our only claim to being aspirational. We had a Dyson a long time ago but it quickly fell to pieces.

 

[marinyork]

I've never even heard of some the stuff in that list!

 

[Salty seadog]

Vinyl is our only claim to being aspirational. We had a Dyson a long time ago but it quickly fell to pieces.

To be fair it was vinyl or nothing at one point.

"Very"

 

[Cheddar George]

I'm so middle class i refuse to click a link to the Daily Mirror.

I'd be laughing as well if somebody said you were middle class.
