It is a delicious irony that double barrelled surnames are now found at the extremes of the socio-economic spectrum but with few in the middle classes. They're either a duke or a peasant. 
It's long been my contention that the uppermost and lowermost social levels have much more in common culturally and behaviourally than would at first appear. The biggest difference often seems to be money. It's those of us in the middle who are the outliers.Edited by SilverSixer on Tuesday 2nd August 10:55

I think that either end there is a great deal of similar behaviour stemming from very different roots.People here look down on smoking, vandalism and binge drinking as being council but if you go to a gathering of ex-public schoolboys it's exactly the same.

Also, I watched something a couple of weeks ago that if was in London would probably be a piece of performance art and I'll call it "Shattered Dreams"...
It's the last day of term and a crappy old Focus pulls up outside my sons primary school - 2 wheels up on the pavement & 2 on the zigzags. A couple in the car - both smoking (one e-cig & one roll-up) - with an older lad in the back (no seatbelt). The woman gets out of the glovebox about 10 scratchcards & gives a handful to her bloke. They sit there scratching them for a couple of minutes & to be honest, I'm excited for them. Sadly, I'm guessing they didn't win as the bloke announces the cards to be a "waste of
ing time" & gives them back to his Mrs. She then throws them out of her window all over the pavement.

Actually an unpleasant experience: but OH the names !!!!
A SOCIAL housing organisation has apologised to a heavily pregnant woman and her one-year-old daughter after they were stuck in a lift for over an hour.
Tyler Dean, 22, of Gerard House, spoke of her ordeal in the baking hot lift last week and how she and her daughter had to be taken to hospital with dizziness and nausea.
She said she was taking the lift to her flat when the lift stopped between the third and fourth floors at around 2.40pm during the heatwave on Wednesday, July 20.
“I pressed the alarm buttons but they didn’t work. Fortunately I had some signal on my phone and was able to phone my mother who had just dropped me off. I then phoned Incommunities who run the flats. I called them again and they said engineers would there there in 10 minutes. After 10 minutes I rang them again.
“I had to ring 999 and get the fire service out because I wasn’t feeling well. The woman on the phone stayed on the line all the time and called an ambulance when I explained I was pregnant and feeling dizzy and my daughter Bonney-Jayne was overheating and losing consciousness.

I read that online earlier and thought of this thread as soon as I saw the classy names. Tyler Dean and Bonney-Jane?! A SOCIAL housing organisation has apologised to a heavily pregnant woman and her one-year-old daughter after they were stuck in a lift for over an hour.
