[comes back in from Tesco very cross and hot]

Stacey, I'm not hostile to you, I don't know you (except that you by insinuation have slagged off some people who are my friends), but to a certain mindset of cultural iconoclasm that I find distasteful in everyone (and there are lots around here) who display it.

Nor did I assume you to be 'working class' but rather that you pretended to have a viewpoint which you thought presented you as such.

Not everyone on the Newcastle course is a pampered, middle-class wastrel you know. I know one graduate who did three jobs in addition to all the coursework.

(Actually I'm just waiting for someone to accuse you of choosing Glasgow in order to avoid having to pay fees, hehe).
