Social snobbery alive and well

Bridgehouse

Early morning train today into London. I get onto the first big commuter train of the day.

I am inspecting on site today so have dirty boots and hard hat tucked under my arm.

However, as a sophisticated type, I have a first class ticket (ok, it's my business so it bought me one ) 

I get a few sneery looks on the platform standing in the first class section next to the pin striped city gents. As I get on, one of them tuts loudly, and comments to his fellow city boy chum that they let anyone into first class these days.

Naturally, I had a good cough, turned round and said "wanker".

I thought that was you as I stood on the platform with my can of Special Brew, Superking and jazz mag under my arm. I'm in the seat next to the shitter, it smells of wee back here.

You couldn't make it up.

Hope you are enjoying your hard wooden bench in cattle class - pleb.


PS can I borrow your mag when you are "done"?

sure, Page 13 "readers wives" is a bit sticky though. I also tore out the ad for 6p a minute Granny Chat for later.

At least you left the educational articles on fast cars in tho.

There I am, about to get on my first class carriage, and some tosser with mucky boots and a hard hat see fit to get in the first class section. And had the nerve to call me a wanker.
All because I'm in my finest Saville Row pin stripe suit.
And there's some lowlife with a can of Special Brew and a self-help magazine furiously beating one out down in the undesirable commoner section.

Am I sat on the fretboard express or summat?

On every train I've been on, the only thing different about first class is the seats are a different colour.

Yes. @Alnico will be getting on at the next stop.

And there aren't any special brew drinking "men's interest" magazine reading "gentlemen" either...

You're all on the direct train to Hastings, aren't you?

Well done you. Exactly the best way to demonstrate to the socially self-superior that the working man isn't ill-mannered, ill-humoured, ill-educated and ill-tempered.

My mate is a sparky. When on site he hides a copy of National Geographic inside a copy of Playboy

Good answer. I'd have gone with "So I see - I presume you won your ticket in some sort of raffle?"

A pretty advanced philosophy there. Wouldn't the world be a splendid place if everyone was just as enlightened.
