No, just curtains *Bob*, I know how obsessed the middle classes are with having just blinds or sometimes nothing at all in the windows so that the common folk can look in and admire the great interior design sense of someone who is intelligent, earning a considerably larger salary and often has a double barrel name.


Louisa.

No.. I think they opt for blinds when they find-out how much decent curtains cost.


Which is which the poor have crappy cheap curtains and the rich have swanky impossibly expensive curtains. Those in the middle can't quite bring themselves to spend so much on 'a bit of material to hang in the window'.

Tracksuit trousers worn when not doing sport would also fall into the underclass zone.

Middle class zone could do with the following

1.croissants

2.natural birth

3.going abroad during the half term

4.ensuring their kids have at least one working class friend, but being especially careful that the friend is not also underclass

You mean net curtains?


Own brands can be much more middle class than some brands:


Sainsburys/Waitrose own rather than Heinz, McVities, McCain, Bernard Matthews, Sara Lee, Pepperami, Blue Nun, Black Tower, Hovis,

Have we changed to a middle class list?


Wrong about going on holiday. Try Playa De Las Americas at half term..


Middle class additions:


breast feeding babies up to the age of one.

making public displays of recycling

talking about how good coffee is in various places they have bought a hot chocolate derivative or fruit juice

I thought I was middle-class until you started talking about curtains. I had no idea it was such a minefield.

    • It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.
    • Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.
    • Completely jobless and lunatic behaviour coming on a forum and complaining about a 4 year old and the child’s bike riding skills. Honestly grow up
    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
