According to the Wikipedia article about the Upper Class
Many upper class families will be in possession of works of art by old masters, valuable sculpture or period furniture, having had said pieces handed down through several generations. Indeed, inheriting the vast majority of one's possessions is the traditional form in upper class families. On that point, there is a well-known derisory quotation from Conservative politician Michael Jopling, who referred to cabinet colleague Michael Heseltine as the kind of person who 'bought his own furniture' (in the Alan Clark Diaries). (The former was then put down himself by a Baron as "the kind of person who bought his own castle").

What kind of person are you?
Or alternatively, what gems of knowledge have you uncovered lately?

I am the sort of person who can tell an upper class family that their 'old master' is worthless and/or shit.

This might call for an eyelash fluttering session at your parents.

Hmmmm. I would but they're paying for me and Az to go on holiday to the tune of £600
and I have a horrible feeling I may have to flutter my eyelashes at them for 2 months rent.

Eeeeek.

Finances = not good.

Charity shops have been my saviour in this situation, on more than one occasion.

Ohhh I miss my heated rollers
I used them for years, but I can do almost everything with my GHDs nowdays so I got rid of them but I wish I hadn't now. I used to put them in wet hair straight out of the shower on a morning leave them all day and then give them one last blast with a hair dryer before removing them.

I always used to get told off for eating salad with my fingers.
Looks like finger food to me.
So then I'd eat my bread and butter with my knife and fork and get told off for that as well. Totally inconsistent.

you mean in terms of furniture?
well, I buy functional stuff, usually quite cheaply, often second-hand. My interior design skills are severely lacking. I'm unlikely to inherit any furniture but my mum does have a certain amount of tasteless tat cluttering up her house which is supposed to be "worth a bit on eBay, once we get round to properly listing it" which I am praying I won't inherit.
