    Apparently we are all middle class!!

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/a...ems-house.html

    From a tofu press to a skincare fridge, Brits reveal their most middle-class items

    Tofu press
    Nutmeg grater
    Caviar spoons
    Avocado scoop
    Saddles the horses have outgrown
    13 kinds of flour and six kinds of rice
    Digital cat flap
    Teabag tongs
    Electric salt and pepper grinders
    Falconry glove
    Electric plate warmer
    Touch-free kitchen bin
    Avocado grower
    Mini grand piano
    Chutney spoon
    Boiling water tap
    Pickle fork
    Filtered water fountain for the cat
    Champagne sword
    Skincare fridge
    Celery salt
    Wine glasses for specific grapes
    Tiffany cat bowl
    Sugar tongs
    Candle wick scissors
    Grapefruit spoons
    Le Creuset cat bowl
    Pastry fork
    Children’s golf clubs
    Electric polenta pan
    Sourdough starter
    Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser
    Robotic hoover
    Electric corkscrew
    OK OK the article is utter tripe but when it mentions Chutney Spoons it's worth a look surely.

    What they do forget to mention is that if you have less then 5 in the list above then you are just a poor person with some posh gadgets thinking you are moving up the class ladder. You only fit in if you have 5 to 10 of those. If you have more than 10 then they you are likely to be a contractor.

    have you ever licked the chutney spoon?
    grated your nutmegs?

    celery salt is essential for a bloody mary so not sure it meets the list criteria
    See You Next Tuesday

        Haha, same. I read bottom to top and was about to proudly announce having not a single item, but foiled!

          I only have two of those items and I think they were freebies.
          - Avocado scoop
          - Teabag tongs

          I got to a point a few years ago if I acquired stuff I had no need off I would get rid pronto.

            Two for me:
            Pickle fork (how else do you get home made picked onions out of jars?)
            Champagne sabre (Fox Knives)
            …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

              I only have one of those things - the sourdough starter but it's a ridiculous list full of stupid unnecessary tulip.

              I have a lot of old-Etonian and PS friends from wealthy to upper-middle-class and I'm pretty sure I've never seen any of those things in their homes.

                Stab with a sharp knife or if you are going to finish the pickles in the jar off with your fingers.

                Mmmmm pickles........

                  I would need to ask my butler for an inventory.

                    Who doesn't have an RFID cat flap? Keep that un neutered Tom from popping round and stinking the place out.

                    Touch free bin - just sanitary not a class thing. Ours have foot pedals though, I suspect they mean the IR ones.
