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?

Only in England That toff that spoke to you and pretended interest merely had such utter contempt that he couldn't be bothered to be rude.

It's always been absolutely not done to be rude to people you consider beneath you.In fact, being overly nice to one's almost-peers used to be the accepted way of showing your superiority. Edwardians would get into spirals of politeness rather than accede and acknowledge they were the inferior party.
