The choice of wine in airport lounges shows that such places are no longer the preserve of the middle class.

Gosh! Airport lounge, how quaint!

This is a dreadful thread with regretful grammar
You ought to be regretful as you have regrettable vocabulary

You didn't use a full stop.

If you're going to go pedant, at least go full pedant.

Largely I am a bit of a failure to my dad's terribly middle class English family (but not to my very normal blue collar French side)
However I managed to do my PGDip at Exeter University and my young patients often describe me as "Jack Whitehall" (which at 39 and balding fast I am trying to see the bright side of).

I'm struggling to think of anything except my regular purchases of Greek olive oil, so I think I must be classless. 😆

I once had to shoe the local hunt's foxhounds out of my garden as they were frightening my guinea fowl and trampling on my asparagus patch!

Comfy slippers, was it?

When I murdered our last au pair I had a quick chat with the Chief Constable and Lord Chief Justice at the club and all the hulabaloo just petered out.

Remind me is it the upper or lower middle classes that prefer privation and buggery to a normal education? 😆

Some of this is getting a bit nouveau riche: Fench residences, au pairs, etc. Proper middle class is:

1. A house with one bedroom per family member, plus one spare for guests (a downstairs office doesn't count)
2. Two cars. The family car must be less than 4 years old.
3. One summer holiday per year overseas, plus one UK holiday somewhere like the Lake District.
4. One parent is full time working, the other part time at most.
5. And as this is a biking forum, you must own at least two bikes worth over £2000.

I fail this test by one bedroom.
