This subject has popped up on another thread.

Round these parts, in real life, if someone calls another person rich, we all grin at each other.

I never knew it was was a problem to some.
Cant see how it can be.
I dont get the problem.

I am wondering if it is different in different areas.
I live in a small rural area.
Fairly surrounded by second or fourth property owners.

Politics, money and religion are not discussed in polite society. It's a class thing

You might be rich if you’re one of those who think £195 for a 2.1kg M&S Christmas Beef Wellington is reasonable.
To be fair, it serves 6 and there’s no prep, but you still have to cook it!

They don't send a chef round to cook it for that price? 😲

I did look at Tom Kerridge's Marlow pub menu.
We've booked for 12 of us for Sunday lunch. 😁
Only £175 pp.
The thing is, it's not something you can keep and admire.

Unless you bring it up later😁

I don’t think it is a class thing really.
I was brought up and still remain very working class but inate good manners tell me not to discuss such things which may cause division or offence.

Where we used to live all the white. vans were outside the houses where the tradesmen lived. Evenings and weekends, there was a van in every drive.

We knew most of them because we had used them some time or another. Lovely men everyone of them.,worked hard and worked well.
