The Upper Class

No, you have and do.



Why? I'll imagine it boils down to prejudice.



Most people eat the food they buy.



It's probably just confidence. You sound quite insecure.

Ta for the disection... but no I disagree.

And most people who come in to the shop who carry themselves in that snobby way expect you to wait on them hand and foot.

Labourer = Non-snobby person... generalising a bit:

I'm yet to meet a labourer who's come in moan about the heat of their drink - usually because it's fine. I'm yet to have a labourer moan at me because the till wasn't quite fast enough for him. I'm yet to have a labourer moan at me because I didn't give him a bag for a M&S 3 pack walnut whip. I'm yet to have a labourer blame me because a
pre-packed pasta salad hasn't enough salad in it.
Seriously, this stuff happens. And for some reason those who appear to carry themselves higher than the 'labourer' are the ones to point these little foibles out. It's annoying. And whilst doing so they certainly look down upon you.

But mainly it's probably old people too... lol

Sure it might be a bit prejudice... but oh well shoot me.

I'm yet to meet a true gentleman, or a well brought up girl - from any class background - do any of those things.

Unrealtime... I have... It's freaky, and quite frequent that they gripe about something wierd like that. Seriously.

I know you should write an angry letter to the editor warning them of the effects their magazine has on people who can't actually afford to replace regurgitated food with fresh supplies of caviar and paté. It was actually just really funny, there was this feature about some rich cow having a tea party (thrilling stuff) and she was talking about one of the daughters of a high society family and saying "Oh yes she's terribly funny, one day she decided to run away from home because she felt so put upon, she ended up flipping burgers in some dreadful joint somewhere in America and came home after three weeks. She said, 'I just sort of realised home was quite nice after all.' " My friend and I were like, oh how FRAHTFULLY hilarious. How are you dude, haven't seen you around in ages.

Point One - Agreed, but this has changed hugely in the last hundred years. In fact the 'poshest' PM in recent years would be Blair. I don't think any PM in the last 100 years could be described as upper class. David Lloyd George and Harold Wilson could definetely be described as Working Class anyway..

That's just Solihull.

I guess I could perhaps agree with that, even through my own experience... I reckon I probably have over-generalised it a bit... I just hate people who act snooty and look down upon you.

Up in the midlands everyone seems to be working class of some description. In appearence anyway.

In town centres up the midlands people will eat crisps in the street, they carry Lidl and Somerfield's bags. They wear hi-viz vests and undertake duties involving manual labour.

that may be the case - thank you ricky gervais - but i personally wouldn't want to move up, and I'm sorta perplexed why people who are upper class want to keep that image

Churchill was upper class.

Haha true. And Sutton Coldfield. But Solihull more, full of wannabee poshos.

Sutton Coldfield is more poshos trying to play prol. It just never seems to work once they find their gigantic camp hill/solihull school network/clique and get back into normal mode. And the worst tend to be the solihull people with fake brummy accents.

But surely people from lower classes who diss the upper classes and mock their accents and privileges etc are doing the same as someone who is being 'snooty' is doing? Surely both classes are merely mocking what is unfamiliar to them?

And I know they're not all like that. Just seems the ones who are likely to complain etc seem snooty and arrogant.

Purely out of interest, what would you think about someone from the middle/lower class who complained? I worked in a supermarket when studying A-Levels and believe me every type of person complained. It seems as though you feel you've only ever encountered 'upper class complainers'?

On the other hand a bloke in a suit was on his phone on the forecourt. Seemed busniess-like and perhaps a little snooty

I told him over the tannoy thing to switch his phone off and come use it in the shop where it's safe...

He carried on talking and when he was done he came inside and rollicked me saying:

"I was making a very important call, why were you telling me to put it away..." something along them lines... I explained... He moaned... I ended up walking off, otherwise I may have ended up swearing at the prat...

I'm not making these up...

I've had a fair few like this. Infuriating...

Where did this happen? I mean tannoys and stuff
