One way to settle this.

Does each "living" room in your house have a fireplace and some god awful swirly paterned carpet and curtains from 1982 hung on a gold plated curtain pole?

Just checked. Yes..... !!!!!! I'm in someone elses house...... :rotfl:

Now I am confused.

I love pizza, keep chickens and am often described as being "as tight as knats rears"

I like pizza, have a dead land rover (in a bad taste colour)and a borrowed car ATM,our farm house has, ATM, 3 bedrooms ..but ne day will be more (does that mean I get posher?)and ill fitting windows, we have significant debt, I keep chickens because I want to, and horses because I like them, I have started a microbusiness because I want to but DH works because one of us has to understand what a lot of people, but not everyone, says and hate telephones. I'm VERY confused!

Blimey, you've spent 1.2% of your entire wealth on an alarm clock.

It's this little bad boy, finished in walnut and sounds better than any unit of comparable size that I've heard, bar the £1.5k Meridian M80. Sound quality is very important to me.

We have that in the kitchen. It was and is intended to replace the hifi though, not just an alarm clock..

Damn, I'm gonna get myself into trouble :o

In all seriousness, I work with wealthy people, and it's just my take on them when visiting their homes. Theres a big seperation between those with farmhouses, land, horses etc, and those living in a 3 bed semi.

Obviously you can't say everyone who has a farmhouse is middle class etc, but do find a different lifestyle and outlook and social circle between the people I have described.

OK, I found the boundary to where class matters to me. My mother would scalp me if I had a lounge. And I like my scalp. ATM I have a drawing room or a sitting room (where I most definitely sit on a sofa not a settee or couch, but some times I lie on a day bed, not a chaise). My mother insists ATM on referring to my sitting room as ''the morning room'' and while I know what she means I really don't think I use the room as a morning room (I'm in t now) and therefore its a sitting room. My drawing room, when it here, won't really be a drawing room, but rather the opposite of a drawing room, its where I'll be receiving people in a clean environment, not where I ''repair'' to..it'll be ''foreign'' to me too.

OMG:eek::eek: I call mine my sitting room:eek::eek: My parents always did as well, and it was a council house:cool:

And I always thought I was born working class and proud of it:D

Why? Is being one class or another better or worse in your eyes?

I hate to say this, but I wear Lonsdale for doing the housework and gardening:D They wash better and last longer than any other such clothes that I have tried and since I have mobility problems I want something "easy" to get on and get about in:D I'm told that my Lonsdale joggers look incongruous with green wellies and a barbour jacket, but I don't care:cool:

I wouldn't be seen dead in them in town though:o
