Matt Hancock says people must take time off from work when they're sick.

He's so out of touch he doesn't realise that many Employers exercise disciplinary procedures when employees take time off sick, and also many of them don't provide sick pay. But of course you wouldn't expect a Tory Toff to understand that.

"upper classes" are not defined by wealth.

[dannyk13]

Who said that they were?

[emmie]

Definitely SKS.

[emmie]

upper classes there it is again. define upper classes,

[emmie]

time to stop this class division, its time we moved forward isn't it...

[ladybirder]

Toffs seems to be used on here mainly by people with a big chip their shoulder.

[emmie]

Mccains and a half LB...

[ladybirder]

LOL Em.

[emmie]

this class division drives me crazy. we should have got over that hurdle
by now.

I rather like the word " toff." To me it signifies:
Privately educated...preferably Eton or Harrow. Oxbridge with a spell after Harvard (definitely not LSE).
A time in the Guards following Sandhurst .
Member of your ancestry in Who's Who.
Preferably a double barrelled name.
A bloody gorgeous long legged heterosexual, nymphomaniac wife, partner or mistress.
Aston Martin or Bentley.
House in the Bahamas where another long legged gorgeous negress was available.
Weather flying first class and staying in suites at 6 * hotels.

That to me is a TOFF

[emmie]

i don;t think we have many of those in the HOP

[emmie]

and Negress, crikey, just how old are you??

[Sqad]

Old enough to be totally confused as what one calls a black woman without upsetting someone.

[emmie]

a black woman, what else.

[Sqad]

O K....but thought that the adjective "black" was unacceptable.
Sqad must try harder.

[emmie]

coloured, out, negress, no way, a person of colour can mean anyone.

[Sqad]

LOL ^^
OK will try and remember.

[emmie]
