Middle Class Generalisation Thread

[Captain Willard]

I’ve just read that Anna Frid of ABBA was the daughter of an SS officer as part of a Nazi forced breeding program. This is a fact. Nothing to do with middle class mores but we don’t seem to have a thread called “pop stars with Nazi fathers” so I have come here with this astonishing information. I wouldn’t hold it against her though.

I read her mother had been raped by a German soldier,but I could be wrong.

Well the documentary I saw said it was part of an organised program. Awful either way.

I was being silly with the Hitler reference - just not in a funny way, like this:

I think that's all I used to think of doing when I was a teenager.

My late grandmother and her daughter (my late auntie) were.  Together.

Except by members of the "winning" team, so that was OK.

 

Then, they even popped around to grandma's house after 1945 to check whether she needed to leave the kitchen - where she was preparing soup for whomever remained of her 13 kids - and come in for "questioning" about her "Nazi sympathies" and any possible "war crimes" she'd committed during her soup preparations and the family's forced migrations etc in the early 1940s.

 

Nice people, those winners.  Unlike my grandma, the ladle-wielding Nazi brute.

Tea stains on a mug are fucking rank. (Not sure about using bleach, though. Sounds like they're trying to poison you.)

The ‘village’ (the locals hate it being called that) I work in just screams middle class cunt everywhere you look. 
 

There’s even an independent candlemakers shop! 

It's about time someone stood up to Big Candle.

I'm not sure it is actually a fact. The way the kids were treated afterwards was terrible though.

I drive past this joint on my way to work, wonder if I can get a selfie with Spit, if I call in?

He used to be all over their website, but I think wokeness has forced him to take a back seat.

Getting Frank Rijkaard to cut the ribbon when it opened was genius.

Bob was dead against it; it was all Spit's idea.

They don't have old aunties but aged arnts.

If they need waterproof trousers for something they already own them, they don't have to buy them special.

 

They call spaghetti linguine.

Doesn’t everybody own waterproof trousers? Surely they are a basic for hiking in the Alps during winter. Or Wales if you insist on staying on the island

 

Also, a quick life hack. If you don’t have linguine in the cupboard, just hit your spaghetti flattish with a hammer

Guilty on both counts.

The first one is just sensible, especially if you spend any amount of time walking outdoors in the UK!

 

I reckon it's more middle class to distinguish between spaghetti and linguine, they're clearly different.

In my defence, the Alps are a reasonable drive from me and I also live in a country where being middle class is roughly defined as being able to feed yourself

Not much different to the UK nowadays. We even share right wing nutters as leaders.
