A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

At www.middleclasshandbook.co.uk our purpose is to uncover, muse, debate and celebrate micro-aspects of the tastes and behaviours of the modern middle classes, across endless subjects from motoring to food and drink. We bring tips to soothe worries, give a heads-up on brands to watch, inspire talking points, identify trends, provide the inside track on stuff MCs need to know and, when necessary, settle questions of etiquette.

The Middle Class Handbook - devised by creative practice Not Actual Size - started life in 2009 as a blog dedicated to exploring the stuff modern British middle classes say, do, think and buy. Since then, it has grown into a vibrant hub for all things middle class, spawning published books, a buzzing online network, one-off events, flagrantly middle-class merchandise, and a specialist MC brand consultancy. And as it has grown, so has the range of contributors behind the daily blogs, ranging from teachers and estate agents,to farmers and IT support workers.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The perfect guide to navigating the trials, tribulations and dilemmas of being middle class in Britain today.

We Brits are embarrassed, awkward and charmingly insecure in our tastes. The Art of Being Middle Class, based on stories from cult blog The Middle Class Handbook, dispenses essential advice on a range of issues including:
· The awkward bag-on-the-seat moment
· What your cooker hood says about you
· The curious attraction of other people's shower gel
· How to wear a hoody
· Over pronouncing foreign-language words
· The fine art of concealing a Sky dish
· How to impress the babysitter

With tips on taste and etiquette, a conspiratorial cheer here and there, and a kick up the bum when necessary, these pages will help you master the art of being middle class. No longer will you cringe about your middle-class-ness.
You're MC, and we've got your back.
