'Also, on the point of mince pies, you can usually tell how middle class a shop is by the positioning of the mince pies in store. You'll notice Sainsbury's don't use the tactics of morrisons and ASDA by placing them in an eye grabbing location. They usually just casually plant them in the bakery area and rarely on offer, it makes them more desirable to the bourgeoise.'


So the working classes are basically lazy morons who don't know that they want something unless its piled up high and cheap in front of them???

I am borderline middle class in my wine tastes, but I tend to look for bargains, a much more working class trait. My mince pie theory goes a long way in classifying whole social class groups. Anyway, I'd like to wish a very middleclassmas to all my fellow EDers of the puff pastry mince pie loving variety, as well as the rest of us who are stuck eating totally unpretentious short crust pies and enjoying them just as much minus the shenanigans associated with pompousness. Cheers everyone!

    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however. 
    • 4.35pm and yes, as anticipated the 'NYE' fireworks have started up again, that's a full 16 hours after the event they are meant to celebrate has been and gone.
    • I don't mind fireworks going off for NYE at midnight but I don't actually understand why they are still going off at 1am, 2am, 3am!
    • I suppose all these issues that need addressing are a reflection of the times we live in. Important and necessary but somehow destroy the underlying spirit.
