Yesterday at work was commented upon that friend and self should listen to ourselves. Our topic of conversation Big Brother (starts again on Friday - hooray)
Anyway it was a sign of what has been recognised recently . You now have "high culture" and "low culture" reality tv.
There are people who will condem Big Brother viewers who were quite happy to indulge in animated conversation on the latest person to leave on "The Apprentice" - reality tv which revolved around Alan Sugar (big business tycoon) looking to find a key employee.
Similarly The Monastery was seen as appropriate conversation, even when we were discussing the arguments between two characters and the likelyhood of full blown fistycuffs.
I am used to this type of snobbery particularly amongst the "educated middle class" but it never fails to grate. Why can't people just admit sometimes it is good to chill with mindless rubbish and have a little fun.
