        That's it. No moving to France for me.

          Just realised something, since the word "Digital" refers to "digits", which is another word for fingers, does that mean a "Digital Cat Flap" is one that is operated by fingers? If so, um...

            I love an arbitrary list that tells me where I fit into society!

            And have failed miserably....... with only 2.

            I have a nutmeg grater and we do have children's golf clubs, since both Mr B and I play, so we got Miss B a set.

            But its always a little disappointing when its not the middle class telling us what the middle class have, just "Brits" talking about what items they have that they perceive to be middle class. When its something as important as this, how can I be expected to improve, unless the information comes directly from my social betters?

              Practically none of that carp is in any sense "upper class", if anything mostly the opposite, a sort of modern equivalent of fish knives.

              Mind you, I could really do with a digital cat flap, especially an AI-based one that can sense when an approaching furry fiend has an object in its mouth and in that event stay firmly closed!

                That's because it's being considered as Middle Class...
