    Off to Camp Bestival tomorrow - I'm not sure we are going to fit in.

    I knew it was a bit of a middle class mecca but just seen on their website that Volvo have special 10% off deals for the festival goers.

    My concerns....

    We don't have a Volvo estate but a Mondeo Estate
    We don't have a Black Labrador but a Greyhound
    I'm not a doctor, lawyer or even work in an office with computers and meetings and stuff, I'm a manual worker doing building.
    Is our daughters name, Anna, middle class enough - should we call her Amalie or Tarquin for the weekend?
    Farmers markets bore me really quite quickly.

    On the other hand.

    We have been to the Dordogne for a holiday
    I have eaten quinoa
    I have a My Waitrose card

    Will we be OK....?

    Top hat with a feather in, preferably also a random pair of flying goggles; make sure to paint the kids faces so they look like a tiger, and definitely think about renaming them. To be on the safe side, I'd buy a pair of tie-dyed trousers and mention John Lewis a lot ;)

    I have no idea what Quinoa is, and I'm pretty sure I'm pronouncing it wrong anyway!

    And when one no longer requires knife pass the fork over to the right hand and don't scoop the food.
    Also use a napkin prior to taking a sip of ones wine

    Prefer Aldi but don't think that'll cut the mustard (top tip - I think Aldi is great BUT their deodorants don't deodorant)

    I'll see if I can nick some occado ones out the recycling bin down asda
