I was listening to 5 Live the other day and they had some wonk on there going on about how the celebrity class is replacing the old aristocracy and I had to grudgingly concede that he was right.
Round where I live, every time a big pile comes onto the market some celebrity seems to be in the mix. There's a pad not 1 mile from me which I've known all my life just come on the market. Had always been in same family IIRC but now the old lady who remains there has decided its time to up sticks.
This has led to me dreading that some ghastly celebrity is going to move in and lord it up over us peasants. Funny that I have no probs with the old style aristos doing just that but the thought of some horrible old slapper like Jordan being in that position is too much to bear. It must be my inherent snobbery coming out.
