  2. What a strange obsession. I work as a carer on the minimum wage - I've used this phrase many times. When you live in a class society such as ours there is a need to make a distinction from the lives of the great mass of people and the ruling class. There may be *some* cases when a phrase is deployed in a patronising way but certainly this example is not one of them. I feel that your wasting your life here - precious heartbeats and I expend some of mine in pleading with you not to dedicate anymore time to this drivel.
