I don't think I like working in a trade.
I went to Waitrose for lunch and inadvertently started an office class war.

Part of my lunch was a pot noodle yesterday; you could tell some people weren't impressed.

I have been partly responsible by suggesting some of them might go bin diving for theirs.
Considering it's such an outwardly pleasant and leafy county, class tensions are high in Surrey; bitterness and resentment from the lower orders are liable to bubble over at the slightest provocation.

I had to go to Leatherhead for work. I didn't like it.
Lots of people pretending they were above pissing in the bath.

No, I just don't feel the need to keep up with the Joneses.

I prefer to set the pace.

I like to dismiss it wish a shake of the head and a mumble of 'stupid cunts'.

The general gist is that "keeping up" is the symptom of the vulgar.
Proper breeding doesn't require one-upmanship or proof. It is self-evident.
