There are some terms here I’ve never used or heard but I wonder why people usually in  the lower or middle  classes use these kind terms especially when you see how aggrsesive politicians are both with us and with other countries.And how cold many of the upper classes seem.Perhaps boarding school affects them so badly or they think it’s common

  1. Just a matter if time before someone brings a sexual harassment case for being called ‘luv’ 🙂

  2. The so-called ‘Upper’ (privileged) Classes’ are more ‘Closed-Up’……thus less free to express themselves – they have to be lest they expose their vulnerabilities….insecurities…or downright mediocrity. 🙄

    1. I find this sort of thing fascinating.Sometimes here shop assistants will take hold of my hand if I look sad.They seem better tat guessing one’s feelings.:)xx

      2. That is how they get up there I think.They moan because they walk about wearing diamonds and get mugged…as if the police are there just for them.Why can’t they wear fake ones like me?

      4. Yes,I saw compassion in the eyes of a beggar once but the upper echelon probably don’t know too much about that for if they did they’d be acting differently towards the poorer folk
