    What kind of food are you, saw that on my news feed last night, a friend was less than impressed to be a buttered roll.

    Facebook really is full of !!!!!!!! sometimes.

    That's why I don't go on it....although I do like the sound of 'What Muppet are you?' :rotfl:

    Well Im considered posh on the housing estate I live in, because I dont behave like some (not all) of some of the other tenants around me. And its not a compliment.

    Which is absolutely ridiculous and makes me laugh as Im as working class as you get, Ive lived in council housing all my life, I went to a very ordinary comprehensive school, what made me stand out here was that I worked full time when very few other people did and didnt bother getting involved in the anti social stuff that can go on around here.

    I have been called a snob for reading a book.

    I actually cant afford to shop in M and S and theres one waitrose within about 20 miles of me and its not close to where I live

    I have shopped in M and S in times gone by when I had more spare cash. I bought a groupon 10 quid voucher for a 5 quid in M and S before christmas spend and I just bought another one, I went round the shop mostly going holy !!!!, look at the prices, I also thought the ready meal portions were tiny.

    When I earned 5 times what I earn now Id have shopped in M and S and not thought very much of it. Its not a matter of being posh or not posh as far as Im concerned shopping in M and S or not, its simple economics.

    Use your M&S vouchers in their clearance outlet at the Forge, seriously I got a blazer for a fiver the last time.

    I didn't know they had one there, I don't pass that way often but it is do able, I can get a direct bus from just outside my house to the forge.

    My nearest m and s is Hamilton so that's where I went last time.

    I saw someone in a PJ onesie on a train a few months ago, it was obvious they weren't going to a dress up party!

    I have been known to drive to the cashpoint and the off licence in a camouflage fleece onesie with my wellies on and my Barbour coat over the top. I usually put one on over my pajamas after getting back from the gym and showering.

    In the retail park bit in front of the big new Tesco. It's clothes, ornaments and toletries mostly not a food one though.

    Facebook is getting worse. And it's harder to clean up your newsfeed. If you unfollow a post someone has made, then go back onto your newsfeed, it's still there, a few people have complained about that lately.

    I know some very nice people who are on my friends list but a few people are always posting stuff, like smile, be happy. Photos of bouncing dogs. And in real life they aren't like that, I've spent weekends with a couple of them who moaned so much I went home feeling like the most positive person in the universe.

    People can post what they like on their own timeline but when you get up in the morning to another smile, be happy, he wasn't good enough for you quote I just think aargh not again, because at the moment I can't seem to get the quotes off, if I say I don't want to see the post, it comes back next time round.

    I use fb mainly to advertise my fitness classes. And to keep in touch with a few folk. Otherwise I wouldn't bother.

    Btw I do like dogs, it's just waking up to 222 posts every day saying don't worry be happy gets on my nerves a bit.

    Particularly as people tend to start sharing them as well.

    Simple solution, log off.

    I got 17%, but then I do live in the North of the country so I may as well live in a stately home with that percentage up here.
