The older I get, the more middle class i become.
Had a slice of home made cake after tea and I voluntarily went into the kitchen for a fork first time ever eaten cake with a fork incidentally. I just didn't want crumbs on myself and the carpet. Kids stunned.Only recently it was sod it stuff it in but come on a fork FFS. I knew I shouldn't have voted Tory.
Anyone else snobbing up ?

Re: The older I get, the more middle class i become.
Talking of forks, how do some folk eat their dinner or tea whilst sat on the settee in front of the tele, with just a fork?
You need a knife you freaks.
Is the sitting at a dining table for meals like a human being for another thread? Or can I rant about that on here as well?
Broken Britain means folk not eating at a dining table and just using a fork to eat.

Before the kids were born we would sit and watch tv with our tea to be fair, wouldn't go back to that now though. A pizza takeaway might sneak into the living room on a weekend every now and then

I haven't become more middle class as I age, but my wife has.

I'd say that the scales have moved on a bit so that there is less to balance what now grates on her nerves and she notices that other men don't appear to do that sort of thing.
Of course, they probably do, but not in her face all the time.

Re: The older I get, the more middle class i become.
I don't know if the older I get, the more middle class I become, but I'll tell you one thing that utterly pisses me off; people coughing and making no attempt whatsoever to cover their mouths. I seem to notice someone doing this every time I step foot into a large shop or supermarket and usually they're standing right next to me.
