Let's be low-class British people

Ello!

Poor isn't the same as low-class, OP

I'm the child in the pub till closing!

That Meghan is the devil she is!

I’m the drunken slags!

I’m Royalty, and was taught to believe that royalty is a real thing, or that it actually matters!

Basically, I’m clueless AF.

Also, this is the true meaning of low class.

I’m a chav.

I’m the “Mrs. Brown’s Boys” boxset.

I'm most of what passes for the middle class in the UK today.

I’m class consciousness. I am actually more pervasive in the USA these days.

I'm every slutty gal who won't need to make any kind of efforts in life, since I know I'll end up as a WAG (and maybe beard) for any Premier League player.

I'm OP, thinking it's funny to mock people who don't have much money. And R2 is bang on.

Therefore I'll be the Brit phrase "dosh don't make you posh".

‘Ello Luv!

I'm the bacon butty.

I’m the class, it’s great innit?

I voted remain

I'm their obsession with the Royals.

I'm the decayed teeth.

I’m the Glasgow smile.

R17 is projecting

I'm a sink estate.

I'm a Traveller. I give the English poor somebody even they can look down on.

I'm the tattoos that cover every square inch of low class British peoples bodies.

Here is a video of low class British people visiting New York. They seem pleasant enough but he certainly has the requisite tattoos.

Oh, I say! This sounds like grand fun.

I’m the private school education. Which is actually public school everywhere else in the world.

I’m the spray tan.

I was born in my parents farmhouse. NHS or not, we don't need to go to hospital to have a kid. And forget about them there circumcisions. That's for the royals and other toffs. Oh and for jews and muzzies not CofE folk.

I'm Plastic Palace Alice

I’m the Adidas tracksuit.

I'm the Frosty Jack.

I'm the cheapo plastic surgery - helium filled lips, BOTOX and faecal-brown tan. Topped off with giant logo T-Shirt, tiny dog on lead, skin-tight leggings half way up the ass-crack. Copy and paste for accompanying baby-daddy (add tats).

I'm the innit. INNIT???

We're the Beckhams!

I’m the tendency toward violence at the slightest provocation.

I'm the balm cake filled with black pudding....fuck yeah.

Well you fucked that one up, R27.

I'm the pie, mash and liquor. Delicious!

I'm the mums of the older generation who used to get together on a Tuesday and scrub the walkways and steps of those council blocks.

I'm Brexit

I'm Essex-born Peachy

I'm Manchester United

To me, you're all plebs.

Only Americans would confuse class with wealth.

It explains a lot.

I'm a very old American whose only experience of Britain and its culture is from Keeping up Appearances or Downton Abbey.

I’m clutching 17 magazines from alleged royal family EXPERTS in the media. It’s all true y’know.

I’m the dilapidated Ford Cortina parked in the front garden.

I'm the WAGs

I’m British.

R48 Are you posting from the 70s?

I've just returned from my chartered, package trip to Disneyworld (Orlando). I've bought the tackiest souvenirs I could find, and now I think I'm posh and well-travelled.

95% of footballers despite them being millionaires.

I'm the cans of lager drunk from the can anywhere and don't forget the packet of fags.

Question: is council housing 100% subsidized housing or are tenants expected to pay a portion of the rent? Also, who is considered the "council"? Is that the district authority, subsided by taxpayers, that presumably pays for the housing?

Their social housing looks to be heads and tails above American social housing. Our housing projects are disgraceful and scary. Section Eight housing does nothing but destroy neighborhoods.

If American Section Eight recipients were moved into the British developments you would see the same result

I'm the stag weekend in Magaluf.

I'm the doner kebab takeaway after downing 14 pints

We are Onslow and Daisy.

I am high tea — a working class, blue collar meal often mistaken for afternoon tea.

[quote]I am high tea — a working class, blue collar meal often mistaken for afternoon tea.

Oh, dear. High tea is afternoon tea. The evening meal is just called 'tea'.

R62 You're so clueless. No-one in the UK takes 'high tea'.

I'm a Brit and have barely heard of it. You think we all stop work mid-afternoon? It doesn't happen.

We're the TV shows made just for you, like Love Island and Jeremy Kyle.

I'm from Trinidad.

[quote] Oh, dear. High tea is afternoon tea. The evening meal is just called 'tea'.

Wrong.

High tea us served at a high table and is basically a supper. It includes heavier and less-refined food than afternoon tea. Think eggs, cheese, meat rather than small sandwiches and scones.

Afternoon tea (or ‘low tea’ is traditionally served at 4:00 and is followed by a proper dinner around 8:09. Afternoon tea has fallen out of favor except for large hotels catering to tourists and Downton Abbey fans.

High tea is traditionally served in place of dinner, usually around 6:00 or so.

I'm Katie Price! Or Kerry Katona!

I ain’t bovvered.

[quote] R62] You're so clueless. No-one in the UK takes 'high tea'. I'm a Brit and have barely heard of it. You think we all stop work mid-afternoon? It doesn't happen.

No, I’m afraid you are wrong.

No, I do not think people stop work for high tea. It’s nothing more than supper and so people eat it when they arrive home from work. You don’t seem to understand what it is. See above.

R71 I'm British. I live in London. I've lived here for 42 years. Yet you continue to tell me about my life and culture?

In a Britain where a creature such as Meghan Markle is a duchess and calling the shots, who ISN'T low-class there now?

[quote] I'm British. I live in London. I've lived here for 42 years. Yet you continue to tell me about my life and culture?

Yes, that’s right. Knowledge has nothing to do with residency. I know for a fact that what high tea is and what afternoon tea is.

I never said these customs are still followed. I simply offered a definition because a good many Americans confuse the two. A friend of mine just wrote to me yesterday to say that she helped her priest serve a high tea to some major benefactors. What she really did was help her priest serve afternoon tea. People mistakenly think that “high” means better, nicer, more upper class. But it’s rather the opposite.

R65, if you be are truly a Brit, as you say, why would you think that one stops work mid-afternoon for high tea when everyone knows it’s supper and one eats supper when one gets home from work?

R22 - WTF is a "sink estate"????

R75 I am truly a Brit and I'm telling you the term 'high tea' doesn't exist these days. Even 'supper' is rarely used. Your ideas about British customs are out of date.

I'm EastEnders.

r77, do you say "dinner"?

"Afternoon tea has fallen out of favor except for large hotels catering to tourists and Downton Abbey fans."

R68 - When in London, I went to a "low" tea. Some dude ask if I wanted milk in my tea. I said " no, just lemon & sugar". The look on his face was one for the record. Of course, he new I was a Yank as I was wearing white athletic shoes.

[quote] Of course, he new I was a Yank as I was wearing white athletic shoes.

And perhaps because your spelling is so creative.

The addition of the word "high" to the phrase "high tea" is believed to differentiate between the afternoon tea that is traditionally served on low, comfortable, parlor chairs or relaxing in the garden and the worker’s after-work high tea that is served at the table and seated on high back dining chairs.

Today, the evening meal in working-class households is still often called "tea" but as working patterns have changed yet again, many households now refer to the evening meal as supper.

I’m a quick shag before high tea because he dropped his bowsers and I saw 👀 his bum, I did!

R82 - I thought the evening meal was "dinner" and "supper" was a meal served around midnight after a ball or large party.

In the UK, what is the difference between "dinner" and "supper"?

well, it ainty, ya bloody git

R80- You mean

SNEAKERS 👟

I'm the 15 year old girl who was raped by many Asian men; I went to the police about it and they ignored me, I went to the social services and they ignored and I finally went to my teachers and they ignored me. The press will either be too scared to report on this or just not care, once the story does break everyone who dares talk about the obvious issues will be called racist and the question of maybe I deserved it will be raised. But if a nice, middle class girl is attacked by any man, then it will be all over the papers and something will be done. I will turn into a lost soul who will be called a slag and chav.

I wonder who started the thread a yank or Brit?

I am Hyacinth Bucket's sisters Rose, Daisy and Violet, and Daisy's husband Onslow.

As an American if you can’t make heads or tails of what a Brit is saying chances are they are low class.

R76 A sink estate is pretty much just what it sounds like: "a British term used for a council housing estate with high levels of social problems, particularly crime."

What a poor quality thread. ‘Britain’ includes Scotland and Wales and, as well as being laughable, most of these posts are about England. Btw, police in the US (pop c 330M) killed over a thousand people last year. Police in England and Wales (pop c 60M) killed less than ten. But have fun with your guns. We’ll stick with the ‘bad’ teeth.

I’m the shit faced drunk and arses and/or tits out stag and hen parties. We populate late night weekend city streets. Also can seen gathered and drunk at airports any time, night or day. We use words such as ‘lush’ and ‘mint’ to express our approval and approbation - especially when someone gets another round in.

Let the toffs have the Oxford Comma. We got the Greengrocer's Apostrophe.

I’m the relief felt that I am not a low-class person in America, stuck in one of those places where schools require metal detectors, active shooter drills, and buckets of stones to fend of any armed teenager with a grudge. And where people just get on with their lives as if this is normal!

We're the eels that once fed London's poor.

I'm the largest possible flatscreen TV, left on loudly all day, pumping out my colourful trash of unachievable materialism, creating both want and resentment, successfully pulping the brains of all who worship me.

But can they say the same thing about you?

[quote] I never Difficulty understanding a well spoken Brit.

Oh, DEAR!

Christ, where the fuck are you from? Not only do you suck at writing a coherent sentence, but you don't know how to capitalize properly.

And yes, they can certainly say the same thing about me. I have a true and cultivated Mid-Atlantic accent.

I'm the Essex girl who was halfway to Norway before I realized a 14 inch Viking was a TV set

R190 looks like you made a fool of yourself.

[quote] I never Difficulty understanding a well spoken Brit.

Now try: "I never have difficulty understanding a well-spoken Brit."

You see, R190, you needed the word 'have' and you needn't capitalize 'difficulty' and you needed a hyphen with 'well-spoken.'

Not that hard.

I am everyone on the Coronation Street tour

I'm a bone dumb, poorly fed, poorly educated, overweight and dead drunk working class Brit. But however pathetic my situation, it will never be as pathetic or shaming as that of my American cousins.

Because unlike they, I will always have a safety net of state housing and medical care.

Because unlike they, I live in a country that looks after its poor, including its working poor.

It's not a country that enshrines free speech. It's not a country that believes in openness, and equality for all. But unlike the richest country in the world, which spits on its peasantry, this country of kings and queens, and lords and ladies, and vast inequality, nevertheless knows how to treat 'them downstairs'.

America has a very, VERY long way to go in emulating that achievement in respecting human dignity.

R205 our country is so very much older and wiser and more tired than your bucking adolescent nation. We’ve had many centuries to learn from mistakes and to reach a kind of weary balance on the class fulcrum (still unfair, and still in peril of tipping, of course).

I am the mixed race kids, lots and lots of mixed race kids, with a grandmother from Ireland and another from Jamaica. A grandpa who is Scottish and a grandpa who is Nigerian.

^ I wouldn't even purchase a dog with that type of pedigree. I don't even think I'd rent one.

R198 No worries. Virgin crews are frequently confused and miss the flight when they see the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the back of the hotel room door and won't leave.

R207 I'm the incomprehensible accent of those kids.

Bangers and mash I am I am bangers and mash I yam.

I'm the british posh that is confused for trailer trash in every other part of the world... from their teeth to their girth without the mirth and their general disdain for everything.

I'm a deep-fried Mars Bar, shoved into any orifice the user likes.

How about the chip butty? Or worse, the crisp sandwich. In white bread of course.

I always vote Tory even though I'm poor and the Tories want to keep me poor, but at least they'll make sure coloured people are poorer than me.

[quote]I always vote Tory even though I'm poor

That's not my experience - poor people tend to vote Labour in the UK. You may be thinking of Trump supporters/red states in the US?

It would have been better if you'd said 'I vote UKIP/BNP and think Nigel Farage has it right'.

I shaged me mum's boyfriend...

Working class Tories were a phenomenon once, as late as the 1970s and 1980s. Not sure it’s a thing now. I do know however in the last two General Elections many gay and Labour Party voters went Tory just for those elections.I had gay friends in the UK who told me they did so secretly. And in the last, landslide election, you had staunchly Labour areas (north of England for instance) which went Tory. In that election when the area north of Newcastle was reported Tory I knew it was going to be a landline. That area had voted Labour in election since there was a Labour Party. Whether this will happen next time is up in the air.

I’ll be Australia.

I’ll be Billy Elliott.

I’ll be Adele.

I’ll be the beggar woman.

I’m on the dole with my six kids friends from five different dads.

I'm the homoerotic chav relationships.

R226 - I have no idea what a Triga film is, then again I do wear white tennis (athletic) shoes when not participating in tennis or athletics.

I’ll be the gruel.

I'm OP.

I'm the Pearly King and Queen (de mortuis)

I'm also the rhythmic sly Cockney dialect that grew out of the thieves private coded speech in the docks area.

And I'm also the bells of St Mary's in Bow Street, within sound of which you have to be born or you can't really be a Cockney.

I'm also Alfred Doolittle, Long John Silver, Friar Tuck, Thomas Cromwell, Horatio Hornblower, and all the other sturdy "low-class" people on whose backs Britain was built: miners, lorry drivers, grocers, tobacconists, sailors, police, farmers . . .

Too right, R167. Working-class hero? Middle-class wanker.

I was going to be Thomas Cromwell next but r232 stole it from me.

Back to the drawing board.

I'm OP.

If you spill a man’s drink you will get head butted. Bad scene. Too much coke.

I'm Harry Johnson, common as muck and hot as fuck.

R217 No, Nigel's not my kind. Tommy Robinson has it right.

I’m an American. I have an opinion on everything, which is invariably incorrect. I know about “chavs” from reality tv. I laugh at the fact that they travel to the Costa del Sol for holidays while not reflecting on the fact that I possess no passport and am too scared of foreigners to leave my big dull square state.

R246 No, you're not an American. You're just trying to hijack a thread that lets us have fun dumping on the Limeys. Real Americans enjoy that.

“Limeys”? How old are you, gramps?

Where is Jeremy Clarkson????

R249 - at R109...

I'm the thrice used Earl Grey tea bag.

R251 Muppet, no low-class Brit drinks Earl Grey.

R252 - Who does Drink Earl Grey tea? It is so weak, it taste like water.

I'm the smegma under the foreskins they never wash.

R253 The upper middle class and aristos are most likely, then the middle middle class although most don't. It's just extremely unlikely that a working class Brit would drink it. Standard teabags (no variety specified) is the norm.

I’m posh but I like a bit of rough.

I am a costermonger I yam.

I'm David Attenborough. And what am I doing in this thread? I certainly don't belong here.

I’m Esther Rantzen, R258. I do.

I'm middle-class Owen Jones who is always championing the working-class, but they don't seem to appreciate it or me. Maybe it's because I'm obsessed with chavs, Muslims, and trans.

We used to be known as the "working class", before Universal Credit.

I joined the police force so I could freely behave like all men did in the 70s, in word and deed - but sadly due to so-called political correctness, this is all now being questioned.

All of them.

R26- Your words sound rather POSH.

I'm the "charity shop" which caters to everyone but the poor.
