It was decades ago, but I well remember my mother telling new neighbours (family with children) about some other near neighbours. ‘The Xs at number Y, their daughter goes to Such-and-such school’
Slight pause from new neighbour. ‘Oh. So they’re not fee-paying people, then.’
My mother was herself somewhat ‘socially conscious’, but even she was decidedly taken aback.
