Mam or Mum?

[dazdon]

Ye English aren't half obsessed with class, are ye?

Mam, by the way.

The working middle classes get more chattery by the minute :-)

It's a class thing.

Mother - upper class
Mum - middle class
Mam - Lower class

I say mum

What a load of bollocks. Working class and proud as was my mum and dad.

Working class? People work in the 3 classes I mentioned above. If you prefer i will put it this way then.

Mother - upper class
Mum - middle class
Mam - The class that don't work, never have worked and never intend to work. They live a life on benefits, usually have 6 children called names of sports cars, or up market housing areas, smoke drink and are yobs. Before anyone has a go, yes if course some people will call there mum by something else, but in general I would say that what I said above is pretty accurate.

what about Ma'ma? Landed gentry?

and what about the reaching middle class? those who are effectively and economically middle class, but have aspirations outside of their god given place in society?
