LMB Cambridge. She is fit in fairness.

Ah a mistake in fairness. I left out "friends" who seem to hang out with her for that reason.

Please define "Class"

Digging up a six year old YouTube to add another 'class' obsessed thread shows some major issues.

Live on a council estate - there's a guy who bought a 17 mercedes benz

Mercs can be had for 35k now. You'd get a top spec Skoda for the same money if you wanted. They're not the status symbol they used to be.

Truly upper class people drive Volvos... those 20-30 year old tanks of Volvos. Or an ancient Land Rover. They don't give a ****e about a brand new status symbol every year.

You could probably say that about 90% of professional footballers to be fair. And a lot of other sports, American football for one.

In the UK, upper class refers only to titled people. Not the wealthy upper middle classes. The best indication that she isn't upper class is that she told you she is, not her behaviour.

I'm not sure about the last line...I know a couple of them who make certain everyone knows.

As for the OP, one of the above people also lets everyone know how much she has to ''strain'' to ''get a sh** out''.

That's a question of personal class rather than social class. You can have one without the other or both. You know people with one without the other.

The former is definitely more important than the latter.

Monetary wealth and class are two things that people think ought to be related.

Class is a state of mind. A human quality. A recognition of .... well.....just class.

The snooker player who touches the cue ball by accident but illegally and isn't seen by the ref but owns up and takes the penalty.

That's class.

The millionaire who, although he is surrounded by his peers at an expensive dinner points out that the waiter was correct in pointing out that they were wrong about something.

That's class.

It's not about knowing the name of a restaurant in Monaco, because any clown can do that.

Class is just class. It's decency mixed with a dose of confidence and individuality.

You can read about or attend all the operas you want if you have an 8 figure bank account....and that doesn't mean you have or don't have class. You could be a bohemian.

But if you help the waitress clean up the tray of drinks she dropped afterwards.

That's class.

Company I work for used to be privately owned by two American guys. One of them owned a Silver Merc with Gold wheels. I was in the head office once and was asked what I thought of it (without knowing at the time who owned it), my description of it as a 'pimp-mobile' brought gales of laughter.

He was in Ireland once and sent his food back to the kitchen of a very expensive restaurant twice saying it wasn't cooked to his liking. Third time the food didn't come back out, the chef did, told him he didn't have pay for any food but he needed to leave

Jaysus. Six years old....Wait, hold on. That would make her about 17 or maybe even 18?
How long do we have to wait before it's "ok" to start googling her to see how she turned out?......might be one of those big-boobied glamour ladies now.
For scientific reasons of course.

Old money refers to money inherited through at least three generations, not self-made monied people, not what you think. New money usually refers to the newly rich who are also brash or vulgar, boasting about all they have, rather than people who simply make a lot of money and are discreet or tasteful about it.

Most people who are very wealthy would be hard to spot.

Absolutely. My in laws are minted but you'd never think it. They drive a 10 year old car, never get anything done to the house, one holiday a year for a week even though they're retired. You'd think they were just your average joes.

My ex's parents also have a sh*t load of money and you'd know it within 5 minutes of meeting them. Always in holidays in Italy for weeks at a time, brand new cars every year, house is always being painted/extended, she looks like Mr T with all her jewlery, speaks like she's the queen even though she's from Offaly

It'd be cool if she actually blacked up and had a "mohawk haircut" to complete the look.

The trips to Italy would be more fun too what with her always pulling the "I ain't gettin' on no plane sucka" line

So your ex's oul' pair were minted and your current inlaws are also minted.

I ain't saying she's a gold-digger........... but she ain't messing.....

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you.
