Having easy boarding on easy jet and getting there no quicker , just sat down longer , nobbers

For the taste. And you should get yourself a teacozy while you're out equipping your kitchen.

That reminds me, I bought my dad a Cath Kidson tea cosy.
That shop is uber middle class.

My little girl's got a Cath Kidson bag, oh golly!

You do need that amount of alcohol to even consider buying that rag.

And they're on our flight. Unbridled joy...

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.

Nearly so right, but in the end, so wrong. Bean to cup machines eliminate the half the ritual at least. Iberital burr grinder and a Gaggia classic with a proper wand and bottomless filters are the true choice.

Costa, Starbucks et all make shite coffee. The independent fair trade places are far more likely to sell something worth drinking. Oh, and they aren't full of people who think Starbucks is upmarket.

Knowing what colour shoes to wear for which occasion, and where to have them serviced.

It doesn't get much better than Reggie Perrin ranting at his son in law for being middle class in 'The Fall and Rise of..' You've got @Fab Foodie to thank, I'd completely forgotten about it until he posted it on another thread.

Shows a lack of thought, Casper should have been called Septimus.

or Mark, although that might be beyond the pale.

If you recognised that as a joke you're definitely middle-class.

I have got to re watch all these again, i forgot just how funny they are.

 

[Cycleops]

Yes, it was a very funny series, maybe my favourite of all time. Brilliantly written by David Nobbs who sadly died last year and of of course the superb Leonard
Rossiter as Reggie.
