I have no idea who she is. She's attractive. I couldn't look less like her though:o

I will be honest here, I am a fairly clever woman but so are you. We pretty much all are on here. The stupid end up getting slaughtered or merely tolerated.

I have no class. No matter how much Shakespeare I can quote or how much Homer I read, I am a pi key. That isn''t a complaint, it is just who I am. I have my strengths, you ever find yourself waking up somewhere like the Chatsworth Estate from Shameless you'd be wise to wish me beside you.

I ever get stuck in a dinner party in the Kings Row, I'd need you.

So by class, you mean something you're born with that you cannot change in any way by any means?

It's a bit too narrow a definition by my thinking.

P.S. I think lir's playing to the gallery on this ATM, though, with phrases like 'frightfully fond' and 'jolly good fun'.... it's a bit Bertie Wooster.

I agree with tre.

I know people who had a right hard upbringing and can mix it with anyone

Wodehouse is one of my favourite authors.

You can move class. Blair/Browns Britain we can all re-invent ourselves.

Why should we?

I actually like who I am (deficiencies in dress notwithstanding).

I could pretend, God knows I am bright enough, what would that achieve?

I am an Irish tinker born at the side of the road and raised in a council estate.

LIR is frightfully frightfully.

Should I like her any less for that?

We are what we are.

I may envy LIR sense of style but that is where it ends.

I envy SJs too and yours, I remember where you bought jewelled slippers................

I'm more than happy to shop in Peacocks, or Primark, or Matalan. A good buy is a good buy, wherever it's bought.

But seriously, how stuck can you get by your birthright? And where do you place someone who has one parent from wealth and so called class and one from the other side of the tracks?

And then some who get a headstart in life end up in the gutter and others start with nothing and make a huge success of their lives.

Wageslave, with your clear ability to express yourself succinctly and your knowledge and love of literature, you are obviously a capable person who is able to present yourself as the woman you would like to be.

I'm not being subtle enough? I think I probably do use both those phrases. More to with falling into expat terminology. Expat kids, where ever they are from, often speck in 1920sisms.
