HELEN MEAD’S interesting column on class (The Press, August 17) says all her shopping habits etc make her working class.
She says her husband is upper class for calling their evening meal “supper”, while she calls it “dinner”, which is surely a middle class expression.
The evening meal of the working class is called “tea” or, as it was in my childhood, “having us tea”.
