And in reality, you're probably common as muck, aren't you!

They didn't mention cereal. What does that make me?

Yes cereal from a Tupperware container is upper class according to the poster. I eat my cereal out of a bamboo container every morning in work because I never get up in time to have breakfast at home. Must be working class

They always seemed to store cereal in tupperware on Neighbours and I remember being a kid and being really curious as to why lol

Maybe in Oz they do it because open boxes of cereal encourages bugs. Or product placement rules.

My parents keep their cereal in plastic tubs and they definitely have upper class aspirations.

It’s definitely a troll
The head of a school wouldn’t have the time or inclination to have 1-2-1 sessions with a kid.
It’s bullshit

I bet her husband is a higher earner who eats boiled eggs for breakfast

The more shit I read over there, the more I'm wondering they live on a different planet to the rest of us!

Hah!

There's a special place reserved in Mumsnet Hell for me, then.

Breakfast is two black coffees and a vape, followed by a coffee flavoured protein shake chaser on workdays. It's been variations on the theme of

Ewes' milk yoghurt, dates and pistachios/pine nuts/brazils/pecans
Watermelon and Feta
and Saturday's breakfast (at lunchtime once we're back from the gym/run/whatever) is fried eggs, bacon and avocado on GF toast.


After all, I'm offending some by vaping, some by having UPF shakes and GF bread, some by having animal products, some by having avocado or Brazils, some by not insisting upon having things from a non existent organic farm shop in the middle of the city centre, some because of the salt, some for the fruit and bread ('that's pure sugar, you know') and some for admitting that I actually eat more than 800 kcals outside a 35 second timeframe once a fortnight ('read Why We Eat Too Much and then you'll understand why that's the worst thing you can ever do')




I'm quite happy in my LC subset of Gym Wanker.

Has anyone else seen the Demisexuality thread on there at the moment? Some of the comments on it are quite shockingly bigoted.

Apparently a widow. I am never certain of that poster, I think some truth with a sprinkling of embellishment.

I've just been reading the thread where they're all discussing which Motherland character they identify with. Lots of Anne's and the occasional Julia but not one of them admitted to being an Amanda!

But but but

she KEEPS noticing it and can not stop!
I fear she is (of course) one of them and having an existential crisis.
Who on earth even fucking says something like this?
Mmm, someone incredibly confused and insecure. I would also add angry, resentful of their birth and status.

I mean, why do lower class people wear black tracksuits all the time? Who cares? I imagine they like them, it's their cultural preference and utterly inconsequential. Except to this peculiar bint.

Even calling someone "lower class" is incredibly disturbing in itself.
