Sitting room ... ?


Is that working class or middle clarse?


Pah, to the lot of you, anyway. As if sociio-economic classification should be decided by whether you have curtains or not! As any fule kno, one's class is not defined by one's pattern of consumption, but by one's relationship to the means of production.


Broadly speaking, if to live you have to sell your labour-power (ie your capacity to work) to an employer you are working class. The ruling class, er, rule. The middle class is made up of those who don't really fall into either category: lawyers, doctors, etc.

Nonsense.


Boarding school kids light their farts. The middle class have the bigger carbon footprint per capita.

Oo.. get you! You'll be telling us you have an expensive table football game and Jura expresso machine next.

There seems to be some sort of misconception here that being middle class is better than being working class. Both have their relative merits. Take Arctic Roll for example.


Rather than renaming rooms to sound middle class you should be buying arctic roll and eating it al fresco. Best of both worlds.


Don't be afraid to give a compliment but don't shout it across a busy street..


That sort of thing..


Maybe that way we can establish a norm for ED...

hang on - aren't you a university-educated classically-trained musician? I know where you're going on my Venn diagram:

I'm classless. There's no such thing as normal.


If you're normal then I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life and I shall baffle with you cabbages and rhinceroses and the kitchen and sets of quoatations from Now We Are Six through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's giant poisoned electric head. So there!

    • In the UK in 2023, no less than 129,300 vehicles were stolen because it is just too easy for professional crooks to defeat the security systems on modern vehicles. The result is that insurance premiums are much higher than they could be. Thefts could be eliminated if legislation was introduced which stipulated that:- 1. All NEW cars should be supplied with a heavy duty steering wheel lock of the kind shown  below. 2. All cars less than 5 years old should have a steering lock fitted when parked in an accessible area. Do you think this suggestion would be supported if a parliamentary petition was created?
