Area man on Radio 4

[louisiana]

Yes, he's from East Dulwich, and he eats couscous... so he's middle class.

He also reckons the middle classes of ED don't have the balls to revolt.

[womanofdulwich]

i think he has a point.

[Penguin68]

In that case, why do so many other people think they're revolting?

[ImpetuousVrouw]

The ED caller got some flak!

Liked the definition of middle class being someone who wears matching bra and knickers!

[womanofdulwich]

i have just started putting my ketchup in the fridge- i have suddenly turned middle class.::o

[ImpetuousVrouw]

Lol, I can't remember where the cleaner put it, so I must be upper class!

[AlexC]

One of my butlers usually fetches it for me.

[womanofdulwich]

my husband despairs of me insisting on ketchup on my cornish pasties- he will never guess i have hidden it in the fridge.

>He also reckons the middle classes of ED don't have the balls to revolt.

He was asked "Well, just pick up on that for the moment. Because you hinted at this in the first comments you made, about the fact that it's [the middle class] not naturally a politicised group. Do you think that's about to change?"

And replied, "Um, well that's a good point. Will the middle classes take to the streets? I don't think that really the middle classes can get banners saying, you know, "We earn ?40,000 a year and we are entitled to child benefit." I mean, I just don't think they've got the balls to do that. Um, I hope they haven't. It would be a bit embarrassing for the rest of us. Um, I think there is obviously a squeeze. Everyone is going to be squeezed, in lots of different ways. Um, will they actually take to the streets? I don't know. "

Which probably answered the question.

But it was only You and Yours.

Whats wrong with matching, bra and knickers the older generation in my family taught us to make sure your shoes matched as well :))

[louisiana]

Did I catch Area Man's name correctly? Wodger?

Where is Wodger? Is he on the forum? Welease Wodger!

[rememberwhen]

I'm pretty sure it was Reggie, of Sly and Reggie fame.

I do. Matching bra and knickers, with a nice suit and tie. The (middle class) ladies love it.

[Jah Lush]

[karter]

Nice one Weggie. I don't think he was too impressed about you driving around in your van blasting loud music in the streets of ED. I would call you middle classed though.
