the local dump. Quite handy when you're moving house imo.
Drives me mad when folk dump their donations after it's shut and some git ends up going through the bags, taking what they want, before toddling off.

Incidentally, that's reopened now.
I think it's called Snakebite or something like that.

Always makes me laugh that there are two Oxfams in the tiny village of Highgate - probably one of the most expensive rental places in the country as well

If Ms Monty really wants to join that set, she's with the wrong Jew.
Heston Blumenthal turned up and was aghast when they confessed to making it with ready-made sponge mix....just add water.

in a charity shop nearby. Just openly do it, helping themselves, sometimes turning the bags right out onto the street, unbelievable.

Don't get me wrong, I despise inane and conceited middle class chatter too, but let's not pretend dullness is a class issue.

but I suppose I'm slightly more prone to taking the piss out of the vacuous middle-class than their proletarian counterparts because they think they are loudly and proudly displaying their high-born pedigree when in fact they are exposing themselves as braying buffoons.

when the vast majority of the working class seem to live their lives by the mantra "ignorant and proud".
The worst representatives of either group are not known for hiding their ****e under a bushel.
Cabbies? Talksport listeners?

Don't you think that those lucky enough to have had the education/opportunity have more of an obligation not to be complete airheads?
If the pub in this conversation was an iffy one in Bermondsey then would not the target of mouthy, pig ignorant Sun readers thus be relevant?

but the majority of the working class turn their noses up at this rich resource of potentially life-enhancing knowledge and experience.
Also, the middle classes disinclination towards casual aggression is one massive reason to favour them over the working class.
