I’ve been to loads of those dinner parties. I live in north london, lots of my friends work in the media, a couple are even low-level famous. I have never once heard anyone discuss which university they went to (because we’re adults) or take the piss out of anyone for a lack of education or any job they’ve had (it was normally me with the crappy jobs, so I would be aware)
If I was sitting next to someone and they told me about going to visit concentration camps but that they hadn’t actually done it yet...well, it’s not the most riveting anecdote is it? I think I’d be mentally screaming for someone to rescue me. Also, I don’t think knowing the names of 3 well known camps proves a “forensic interest” in global affairs. It shows you’ve watched the History Channel a few times
I’ve commented on this and not the £20 stuff because that makes me need a Valium & merlot
