I'm from a working class upbringing, but now my family are National Trust members with a Volvo. At any NT property we use our NT names - daughter Bunty, son Barnabus, wife Babs, me Bilbo from getting out car to return, with full posho accents. "Bunty darling, cafe is this way"

@fesshole This whole anachron class thingy is so far from my world. And it should be far from anyone's world.

While I applaud taking the piss so royally, the effort must detract from actually enjoying what's on offer. Seems like an own goal.
