Regular fry-ups - only for the 'working class'?

Indeed, it's called inverted snobbery.

noun [SIZE=-1]derogatory[/SIZE] the attitude of disdaining anything associated with wealth or high social status, while elevating those things associated with lack of wealth and social position.

Seeing as I reserve equal amounts of scorn (as I stated) for the "council scum" type people I cannot have Inverted Snobbery.

There's so many people with that problem. Almost everyone I work with has that stupid attitude. They think the world owes them something. Rather than getting of there lazy behinds and working for it.

Here's something we agree on. I cannot abide people who think the world owes them something. Hard work is how you get it, it certainly is how me and my wife have gotten where we are today and it was how our parents achieved well.
 
Most people are too lazy/tired to cook first thing in the morning so cereal ***.

If your a builder who has to be on site at dawn o'clock and get your breakfast from a cafe then the likelihood of a fried breakfast increases dramatically. After all, who orders cereal in a cafe?

Personally I don't really like fry ups, and have them maybe once or twice a year, though really I'd be just as happy if it were a plate of hashbrowns :p

Not necesarily. Just because you dislike a certain group of people who are unrepresentative of the true working class does not make you averse to inverted snobbery. I take it by 'council scum' you mean chavs or those who scrounge off the taxpayer through benefit and live on council estates. Disliking such people is nothing to do with where you sit in the class scale since they're making a mockery of everyone, no matter who you are.

But I don't disdain all middle class or upper class people and I certainly don't elevate those things associated with lack of wealth and social position and so cannot be labelled as suffering from inverse snobbery.

There certainly is a smaller amount of people types I like rather than dislike but that simply makes me hard-to-please and a general grumpy old git and I have no problem being tarred with those feathers.

Seeing as the UK isn't an Autocracy run by me people are perfectly entitled to have whatever they want for breakfast and I am sure my opinion won't bother them as single jot. Such is life.

If the country was a LordSplodge Autocracy then things would be a lot better...:p

Nail on the head.

If you close down the cafes near the building site and then put in a kitchen in all offices then i bet you'll see a big swing turn around.

You regard yourself with contempt then? That's clever. Saying you regard class divisions with contempt would make more sense.

When referring to the entire Human Race and the contempt I have for them because of their lack of focus and petty bickering and warmongering rather than moving the race forward to what it is capable of I suppose one must include oneself. :)
 
I must be the only one who can't eat warm food for breakfast, always had cereal :o.(Fry-ups look disgusting anywho) I have relatives who have curry for breakfast ://
 
i wish i could have a regular one, would kill for it lol.

Best i can get is a sausage sarnie. Damn students and 0 money.

But i understand what you mean, but i dont really agree. Builders and people do it for energy, as they need it to lumber things around all day. Office workers do bugger all apart from sit at as desk, hardly the most energising job.

But TBH, who cares?!

Part stereotype, part based on experience of such people.



In my opinion yes. So?

So I find it amusing.

"Yeah I eat salmon. I don't tell anyone about it. But I do it because I'm better than other people."


Get real.

Most people eat food because they enjoy it.

Salmon is healthy, Maybe they eat it because they don't want to be a fatass!

So yeah, I find your opinion amusing.

Sorry I don't get this whole class thing... is it to do with money? i.e. more moeny = middle class, less money = lower class? ? (how much is 'more' and how much is less'?? )

According to someones post I'm supposed to know what class I'm in.. err Whisky Tango Foxtrot?


Anyway, fry-ups yes please. The works, regulary not a good thing, but yes every couple of months.

I often eat bacon/egg/square suasage/tattie scone rolls, quicker, easier more convienient and handy for lunch.
 
I have the occasional cooked breakfast on the weekend, sadly I only get up in time for a bowl of cocopops in the weekdays :(

As a lot of people will tell you, being working class is not about what job you have, where you live or how much you earn. It's about your background, interests, state of mind.

Your class IS defined by a lot of things, including your education and profession and not interests/state of mind.
