“school houses”, knowing people who were extras in Harry Potter, Malvern Hills, is this all just posh people stuff trying to seem normal?

My lovely friend is friends with him and now I keep rethinking how lovely my lovely friend can really be because that guy’s a horrid rotter who, no matter what he’s meant to be writing about, can’t avoid writing about that time he hung out with poor people or went to a squat party and wanked off David Bowie’s ghost or whatever

Didn’t get through all of it obviously but the bits I managed read like a middle class person trying to appropriate the working class experience using only a Gavin and Stacey box set for reference. Strange article.

This article refers to something involving a ‘baby shower’ as ‘Britishcore’. I think we can safely disregard it.

The Guardian are so confident in the article that they didn’t open the comments option.

Cool how they’ve made something that’s more naff than “the naffest bits of British culture” in the list.
- Write a “humorous”, self-deprecating listicle that’s nowhere near as relatable as you think it is. Get it published in a national newspaper as they’ll take any old shite as long as it gets clicks.

we had school houses, dont think i ever worked out who they were all named after. we had Peel (blue), Kay (red), Hargreaves (green) and Crompton (yellow). Peel is obviously Robert Peel, he was a Bury lad. just had a look at wiki and it turns out the guy who invented the flying shuttle, which is a weaving thing i think, was also from Bury, thats John Kay. turns out Richmal Crompton, who wrote Just William is a local hero which is pretty funny that she had a house named after her at my primary school. Hargreaves is a mystery i guess. that was my house
also didnt know Cherie Blair was from Bury?! wtf
Couldn’t finish that list. Got almost painful to read. Skimmed down to the end. Think I need a lie down now tbh.

We had school houses too. They were named after local notable people as well, Mitchell (Reginald ‘‘spitfire’’) etc. Can’t actually remember any of the others…
