POSSESSIONS THAT MAKE YOU OFFICIALLY MIDDLE CLASS - HOW MANY DO YOU OWN?
An etiquette study has revealed 16 signs that identify signed up members of Middle England in a room-by-room and lifestyle list.
According to the research a middle class kitchen has a tap for instant boiling water instead of a kettle, a Smeg fridge freezer in the corner, an Aga cooker anmd a Nutribullet smoothie maker.
And the living room boats a smart TV, wood burning stove, a vinyl record collection and matching coasters to prevent glass and cup stains on the coffee table.
Mr Hanson, author of The Bluffer’s Guide to Etiquette said: “The middle classes have always been known for their love of material possessions and for keeping up with their neighbours, with suburban one-upmanship taking place on a daily basis.
“They are constantly looking for the next thing they can install, fit or mount in their homes to be a cut about those next door.”
The items or features that indicate you belong to a middle class household include:
- Smart TV
- Dyson vacuum cleaner
- Barbeque
- Vinyl records
- iMac
- Nutribullet
- Antler or Samsonite luggage
- Wood burning stove
- Spiralizer
- Mulberry bag
- Matching coasters
- Boiling water taps
- Hot tub
- Aga range cooker
- Smeg fridge
- Brompton bike
How many do you own?
0: Not Middle Class
You're a true person of the people. Kudos on ignoring the middle class masses, while you cycle to work on an adult-sized bike and chop vegetables with a knife like your forefathers. Living Happy ever after, without the signs of high blood pressure.
1 - 4: A little middle class
Caught between practicality and opulence, you're an interesting mix. Perhaps you're resisting middle England or are a fast riser up the list. Is it worth getting a record player for those vinyls?
5-12 Very middle class
Nice and secure in the upper-middle classes, your suburban home is full of Mulberrys, Nutribullets and the barbecue where you host your similarly well-to-do friends on a Sunday-afternoon
13-16 Extremely middle class
There's no two ways about it, you're a country lord! Celebrate this achievement by trying to fill your abnormally huge fridge and spending more time arranging fancy coasters than drinking your Chai tea off them.
