ClassDan Prick tugs our coat and tells us: "I'm enormously middle class, and was once dragged along to a bingo club by a former girlfriend and her mum. It's incredible the fury you can whip up in a room of old biddies winning a fuckton of money and telling them 'This is a load of old shit, really'". Like Pulp's Common People, have you ever tried to act down, or act up?

Why does going to poetry evenings and writing a novel make you 'very middle class too, verging on posh'It makes you a snob if that's your attitude about working class people, but looking at these 'tales' I don't think you're alone

I have no antipathy towards working class peoplebut these activities tend to be seen as middle class. Actually most of the poets I listen to are definitely working class. My favourite one last week started with something like "sorry, I seem to have turned into a massive dickhead."
By the way, 'very middle class too, verging on posh' was referring to the whole paragraph, not just that sentence!
I have been defined by various people as working class scum and as a posh git. Thought I'd tell my story as it's the qotw and all, but it's something I very rarely think about. Class doesn't define the way I think of myself or others, but I think it's interesting that I have licked both sides of the class divide window.
