Jaeluni Asjil posted:Huh just had a market researcher round. Put me down as a C1 based on my part-time semi-retired job. Honestly the whole thing is outdated classist nonsense. Particularly how "professionals" automatically get the same grade as senior executives of large corporations and top-level civil servants, that's just, well, stupid. Similarly small business owners get lumped in with senior management in large corporations. Completely out of touch. e: Also Extremely British though. Here is an updated one:  It's so full of Brit snobbery it hurts. Private Speech fucked around with this message at 18:06 on May 10, 2024 |

It seems Experian keep the mosaic classification up-to-date, it's a fun read: https://www.experian.co.uk/business/platforms/mosaic/segmentation-groups I especially enjoy how the latest one is almost entirely based on "how big and expensive is the place you live in". I mean we all know that's all that matters in modern UK, but it's funny to see it spelled out like that.

Idiots commenting on Youtube are possibly not a representative sample here. Not intentionally. I genuinely was going to add ‘family links’ to the reasons someone might know more, but figured that would be pretty obvious, and the relevant sentence was already getting a bit too long with too many caveats and asides. Incidentally, that episode of Captain Planet was apparently originally going to be set in the West Bank. NI only got a look in when that was decided to be a bad idea for a kids show…

Also I finally looked it up and "to a T" is most likely a shortening of "to a tittle" where a tittle is a small dot.

Private Speech posted:It seems Experian keep the mosaic classification up-to-date, it's a fun read: I don't fit a single one of those! All their retired (I know I'm not quite) seem to live in 3 bed houses! Not titchy little flats. And my flat is NOT in a 'retirement community' - it's simply an ordinary block of flats with a 55yo lower age limit. No wardens, no alarms (save what individuals might fit themselves), no residents' lounge with 20 old dears sitting in a circle staring at a tv while drooling (there is a residents' lounge but it has about 10 seats in it, a long-dead tv and is rarely used), no coach outings or evening bingo or groups of 6 year olds visiting from local infants' schools singing "Grandad" in their horrible little kid voices. (Wanna send 6 year olds to sing at me? Please send Aaralyn!) And none of them seem to be relevant to someone with 8 laptops/tablets LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tmHpd87rv0&t=48s

Please do better to fit in the lines so the powers that be can more effectively sell tat to you in future The only flats that I saw mentioned seemed to relate only to renters or those incredibly expensive £250000 with monthly £1k charges on top flats in those country homes done out as retirement villages. A flow chart might have been useful.

Apparently Eurovision is popping off at the moment. NL singer is not rehearsing and cancelling press appearances (and covering himself with a flag when the Israeli act was speaking), rumours of one of the acts being DQed for punching a photographer for mocking his dead parents, last minute staging and scheduling changes, booing edited out / added over Israel's performance & various acts constantly hiding protest makeup. E: and various countries leaking or straight up broadcasting their public votes ahead of time.

One of the secrets of photography that they don't want you to know is that they can't take photos if you lamp them right in the face and knock them out cold. That's why they killed lady diana in that tunnel, she was about to leak the secret.

Funnily enough not banning the country that is in the middle of a genocide and whose singer is joining the IDF once the competition is over has turned into a massive loving shitshow. Who could have foreseen this?

His song is about his dead parents IIRC so maybe he then punched a photographer. I can see why this Eurovision team wouldn't want orphans to be able to defend themselves, given they're defending Israel.
