Middle class things to say...
"I wonder if we can fit the 2nd / 3rd car on the drive of that lovely house"
"The house market's on the up again. Is it time to get out of 'buy to let'?"
"Is it better to live north or south of the river (Thames)?
"Should I get that 2nd / 3rd / 4th bike? I'm running out of shed space!"
All the above wouldn't look out of place in one of the forums on middleclass.co.uk. However, I am posting on a cycle enthusiasts website, where we talk about frames, forks, sprockets, chains etc etc yawn....other bike websites that sell all the aforementioned! We especially refer to other websites when we spot a bazzing tyre reduced from £36.99 to £15 on our good friend of a site, Chain Reaction! We also get hacked off when we can't get our hands on that killer deal! Surly, sorry, surely that translates to all classes...upper / middle / lower / under, who would all be hacked off if the site went down. OK, maybe not the under class.
I'm obviously middle class for taking the time to compose this! lol And the fact that I’m a member of a single/fixed speeding website?
And PicKle, I'm not having a snipe at you. I'm just having a bit of fun to stretch my middle class brain ;o) I know you were simply throwing away an ironic comment. After all, this is just a message thread in cyberspace. And we don't know each other, and tapping away at a keyboard is easy for us middle class types ;oD
PS. Sorry about the personal reference. Most people won't spot it (Well, they might now?)
=;o)-<
Right, I really MUST go and do something with my life! Where did I put my Rapha catalogue…
