'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!


Louisa.

    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end! 
    • Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
