Okay okay my fellow people who grew up in poverty or in very working class areas:

Name one thing you thought was ‘only for posh people’ when you were growing up that you now realise is for anyone.

I have TONNES!

The first one that springs to mind is Sainsbury’s. I was always told that Sainsbury’s was for rich and posh people and they went to do their shopping there and then had lunch in the cafe lmfao - I was about 20 before I set foot in one

Next one is Walkers Crisps. HAHAHAHA! God I woulda killed for walkers crisps at school. We had like the betterbuy ones from the supermarket and I remember always trying to hide them at lunch time and told everyone I had walkers but I had never had them.

Sky TV!
Oh my word. I remember thinking you would have to be super rich to afford a satellite on your house and to have extra channels to your TV. None of the kids on my estate had it but the kids on what we called ‘posh estate’ (new builds) had it and it blew my mind!

New clothes.
Oh man what I woulda done for new clothes.
I lived in my Male cousin’s hand me downs. I was on a bus when I was 9, in an Everton jumper. I didn’t know what Everton was. And a Stokie started ridiculing me for supporting Everton & I had no idea what that was 🤣

I just thought of another!

Birdseye food.

Honestly I thought that only the rich could afford BirdsEye

I just thought of another:

People who went to barbers or hairdressers to have their hair cut. Woah I was in awe of them. We just cut ours at home.
