We were contemplating a Lake District trip and went on Bookings.com at the weekend. Was completely flabbergasted to find lovely places for two nights at around £350 , while YHA places for two bunks in a room for 8 and a shared shower block were around the same price.

Yes, but you’re paying for the ‘experience’, also known as ‘they saw you coming’. 
 

The wife loves them though and some of them really are in beautiful spots. Shame about the infestation of the middle classes.

Just spent a weekend in a field at Worthy Farm with an absolute shitload of then. Different breed when it comes to stuff. All good intentions but no clue as to what is happening in the real world outside of their villages and towns.

 

And they all come dressed as if they were at the actual Glasto festival. 
 

Weirdo’s.

Sorry Skids, but I just can't let that sort of thing go.

That’s never been my experience but I guess we can live in hope.

Remmie's got some experience of hostelling that might make you think twice

[stringvest]

Two TV programmes that have captured the middle class (or at least the middle class I'm familiar with) best are Motherland (with the weirdly gorgeous Anna Maxwell Martin) and Lead Balloon (with the weirdly ugly Jack Dee).  I think they reflect the fact that the middle class existence is more precarious than you think; it's only their innate confidence and ability to communicate (and maybe a bit more money) that separates them from the working classes.

Cunt behaviour.

One of the GF's great examples of disturbing yet funny as fuck. The story that is, not Rem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe.

The places are crawling with the backpack wearing, pullover loving, nick nac buying, tupperware loving, rose drinking, deviants who guard the members kitchen like it’s their own ‘safe room’. 

Nothing to do with the post, but immediately thought of this;

If they're signing on, they'll tell you they're an actor

They think the Police should focus on catching real criminals instead of cautioning them for the shit they do.

What, no mention of the children's names? Tarquin and Quinten were never going to cut in the local comp, were they?

The girls will all have names like Poppy, Daisy or Rhododendron.

There's been a backlash to this. The modern Middle Class Baby Name Book is basically the list of characters from the first episode of Coronation Street.

Lucy Punch's character is the best example of how thin that veneer of confidence can be.

So, Ken and a bunch of others then.

Bank Holiday Monday. Certain places to be avoided today, for those not wanting any kind of contact with the middle classes:

 

1. The seaside, with the possible exception of Blackpool and parts of Scarborough.

 

2. Countryside beauty spots.

 

3. DIY Shops/Garden Centres.

 

4. Pub/Restaurant chains, catering for families.

 

5. My mother’s house.

 

6. Swingers clubs. 
 

7. Children’s playgrounds. 
 

8. Market Towns.

 

9. Anything that could be considered a ‘visitor attraction’.

 

10. Motorways.
 

Nobody should assume the above is a complete list. The middle classes are sneaky fuckers and have been known to inhabit all sorts of nooks and crannies. 
 

It might be best to stay home with the doors locked and curtains closed until tomorrow. 
 

If you’re middle class and need to avoid yourself then I have nothing.

You could have rounded up 5, 6 and 9.

Garden offices are the new fad.

Posted before but the biggest difference between working class parent and middle class parents, is that working class parents do without to ensure their kids have good stuff, sometimes to ridiculous degrees, i.e skipping meals to make sure the kid has the kind of footy boots that won't get him bullied at school.

 

For the middle classes that dynamic is reversed entirely. Mum and dad want for nothing and enjoy their favourite wine while the kids share a fruit shoot.

If anything fruit shoots are underrated. Probably the best thing about going to a kids party with a hangover
