Being a commor

lufties

I hear that phrase thrashed around a lot here in england. I don't really know who it refers to. Since this country is very class orientated, I can only imagine it means the x factor watching, wetherspoons drinking, daily mail reading, social welfare drawing classes.

My personal take on it is those who don't question things and go along like sheep to everything mainstream

Scratch Daily Mail reading. The types who'd call people commoners would be avid readers of said publication.

I don't think you fully understand the demographic of the average Daily Mail reader.

I personally read it from time to time, but never called anyone a commoner.

This is a Republic, we are ALL commoners.





Even people with titles - Lord Lucan, Lord Slane - don't actually have a right to use those titles in a republic.

How do you go about averaging a demographic?

Take ten retired bank officials from Chalfont St. Peter, split them into two groups and take them crown green bowling.

What's wrong with the daily mail? The sun is the commoner paper. I read the mail by the way ; )

catallus

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

The Daily Mail has the best puzzle pages.

I'm just an ordinary decent pleb myself here, in The Pale. The culchies aren't that bad either.:) A lot of them drink Guinness too. I suppose I might just still diff the hat to Uncle Art if I wore a hat that is.

They're just trying to blend in.

As that great philosopher George O'Dowd once sang:

"Commor, commor, commor, commor, commor chameleon."

A commoner is a non- aristocrat. If you only get into the House of Commons you are a commoner, if you are eligible for the House of Lords you aren't.
