The cycle chat guide to being middle class

[Dave 123]

As you may have seen @Fab Foodie has started another thread on 'how middle class are you?' Which is derived from a Daily Mirror article-

https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/friday-fun-how-middle-class-are-you.207626/

As @User rightly points out, a hot tub isn't quite the middle class indicator, but what is...?

2 from my life which clash with my working class roots are

Drinking Lady Grey tea (tastes the same as Earl Grey, but with a bigger hint of pretention)

Wearing Birkenstocks.

What can you add to the wicker picnic basket?

 

[User169]

Red trousers

 

[stephec]

Another one that Reg pointed out, a bean to cup coffee machine.

Or when you drink coffee out, you wouldn't dream of going to Costa or Starbucks, it's got to be an independent fair trade certified beans vegan establishment.

 

[stephec]

How about shopping at Waitrose? Or Booths if you're a northern ponce, if such a thing can exist.

Actually I buy beer and coffee beans at Booths some maybe scrap that one.

 

[Spinney]

My OH prefers leaf tea, never tea bags...

 

[slowmotion]

Linen jacket and Panama hat.

 

[PeteXXX]

Knowing how to pronounce 'Quinoa', and then pretending to enjoy it..

 

[biggs682]

only riding older steel retro bikes must mean you are middle class surely

 

[Hill Wimp]

Buying everything from John Lewis.

I would marry the man if he was still alive.

 

[TheDoctor]

Using the word 'provenance' in everyday conversation.

 

[DaveReading]

Austrian blinds.

 

[midlife]

using mayonnaise instead of Heinz salad cream

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Buying everything from John Lewis.

I would marry the man if he was still alive.

Did you know that @potsy real name is John Lewis.

 

[Dave7]

After each ride I check my cycle shorts for skid marks (before putting them in the wash)......does that qualify me as middle class ?
Not sure what I will do when I actually find some

 

[Hill Wimp]

Did you know that @potsy real name is John Lewis.

He couldn't afford my upkeep
