The class war is still raging across the dining table

George Bernard Shaw was spot on the moment an Englishman opens oakley sunglasses outlet his mouth,
another Englishman despises him. Especially if he stuffs a pasty in it.We like to think we live in a classless society. And, its true, a lot of
class signifiers have disappeared or decreased over the past half-century.
The gap between the middle-class and upper-class accent has shrunk just
compare Prince Williams glottally stopped, downbeat mumble with his
grandmothers clipped gels and orfs. Clothes, too, have melded across
the class barriers these days, even dukes wear jeans.But class war still rages across the dining table, even if dining tables and
Oakley Prescription Glasses communal meals are themselves on the way out. The concept of a kitchen
supper the expression Francis Maude used for dinners held by David
Cameron in his No 10 flat is alien to a large proportion of the populations wrong, though, to suggest that a kitchen supper is a grand thing because
it somehow implies youve chosen not to use your dining room. Kitchen supper
is less a geographical description, more a culinary one. You can have a
kitchen supper in your dining room; you can have one without having a Oakley Prescription Glasses dining
room; you can even have a grand, non-kitchen supper in your kitchen. The
expression is used to mean quick, straightforward food pasta or roast
chicken, perhaps, with no first course rather than the full-on,
three-course meal which you cant leave, on pain of social death, women oakley sunglasses before
11pm.But the general force of the attack on Mr Maudes choice of words remains true
our class is still defined by what we eat, when we eat it and, most
tellingly, what we call it: the ingredients of a kitchen supper are
universally recognisable; the actual expression is confined to the
upper-middle classes. In fact, the number of class signifiers in the kitchen
has decreased in recent decades just like with accent and dress. John
Betjemans 1956 poem How to Get on in Society included domestic class
indicators which are barely recognisable now: fish knives, cruets and cheap [url=http://www.sunglassview.com/] Oakley Prescription Glasses oakley sunglasses[/url]
doileys are on the verge of extinction; and youd have to be crazy, or over
100, to object to someone calling the telephone a phone. But people from
different backgrounds go on behaving in different ways as they have done
since the cheap oakley sunglasses first cavemens supper; as they will go on Oakley Prescription Glasses doing for ever, across
the world. Theres nothing wrong in that, as long as no one plays the
disgusting old English game of using supposed manners to put people down
sniggering behind your napkin at the man who calls it a serviette; sending
the port back to the neighbour who has passed it the wrong way round the
table.Related ArticlesIs the traditional dining table becoming obsolete?29 Apr 2013First the pasty tax now church bells toll challenge for George Osborne30 Mar oakley sunglasses outlet 2012Ale under the veil: the only brewery in Pakistan24 Mar 2012Queen's Diamond Jubilee: Royal recipes22 Mar 2012Is the Dukan Diet off the menu?27 Mar 2012Scotch whisky exports surge to more than 拢4 billion27 Mar 2012All that small-minded rubbish is dying out, thank God.

in fact, its growing more popular is cheap oakley sunglasses the newer, equally unappetising game
of Prolier-than-Thou: the frantic politicians competition to show they are
men of the people. This week, they were all at it David custom oakley sunglasses Cameron turned
misty-eyed at the memory of the West Cornwall pasty he had on the platform
at Leeds railway station; Ed Balls, Ed Miliband and Rachel Reeves could
barely wait to get to the Greggs in Redditch to stock up on sausage rolls.Just tucked in to a delicious sausage roll from Greggs in the car with
@edballs and @edmiliband, Reeves tweeted afterwards, a line that neatly
encapsulates the desperate jockeying for position that passes for eminence
in political circles nowadays. Reeves is, incidentally, shadow chief
secretary to the Treasury a job that requires even more skill than the
ability to appreciate hot pastry.As it happens, the taste for meat and sugar-based pastries has always crossed
class barriers in our cold, heavy-drinking, stodge-addicted country. Pork
pies are as popular at Whites Club as working-mens clubs. Still, both
sides ended up losing this round of Prolier-than-Thou. Youll never get past
the first round if your moves are so crashingly fake; as Peter Mandelson
will recall when, as MP for Hartlepool, he was asked by the local paper oakley sunglasses outlet what
possession he most treasured. My Hartlepool United football scarf, he
said, with near-admirable bucketfuls of cynical ambition.As Richard Nixon, Jonathan Oakley Prescription Glasses Aitken and Jeffrey Archer discovered, its not the
original crime that does for you; its the cover-up. People dont really
mind that different classes behave differently, eat different foods, call
them different names or eat them at different times. Upstairs, Downstairs,
Downton Abbey and Titanic draw their cross-class appeal from a shared
fascination in these differences: in clothes, accents and jobs, as well as
food. But people do mind if you try to cover up your natural behaviour. No
one would expect Lord Grantham to eat a Greggs pasty to improve his poll
ratings. It wouldnt work oakley sunglasses outlet for him and it doesnt work for modern
politicians.Harry Mounts 'How England Made the English will be published by Viking in
