A friend just told me that Anthony Sher was not his favourite Richard III and I am sitting here with Jarrett on the stereo and sancerre chilling in the fridge
Let's face it. Much as I would like to be a hard nosed northerner from the wrong side of the tracks, I am middle class and proud of it. No red fitted carpets and no chinless inbreeding
So what gives you away?

How Middle Class am I?

I rent(but it is two bedrooms), at least you own.
Do all the empty Coors Light cans and Club Lemon bottles in my weekly trash give anything away?

Six weeks ago I could not have denied it, but since striking out on my own, I doubt my income qualifies as middle class.
Oh, how I long for home delivery of the NY Times again . . .
