Read a great article in the paper yesterday. The Daily Torygraph has started a new club. It's called The Society of People Who Never....
Here's a few examples from the deluge the paper received;
I have never...
Watched or read anything with the word "celebrity" in the title, used an ipod, drunk bottled water, eaten Turkey twizzlers, pot Noodles, buffalo wings, doner kebabs, been to Disneyland,Legoland or Alton Towers, worn a baseball hat, eaten cream when custard is available, travelled on a bus, prepared a Jamie Oliver recipe, finished a DH Lawrence novel, fored a gun, seen a James Bond movie.
Now apparently it's not about us all being grunpy old men and women (even if that's probably the general reading population of the Torygraph) it's more about Britain still being a nation peopled by rebels with minds of their own.
here's my bid for membership -
I'm proud to say I have never...
been on a skiing holiday, climbed very high mountains, pickled onions, seen Les Mis, eaten cold baked beans or queued up for the latest Harry Potter book.
So what about you?

Surely a Daily Torygraph reader would never have seen a James Bond FILM!
Another similiar angle - Whilst working for Sotheby's it was the height of fashion to inform all who would listen that one didn't conform to lower class activities such as watching Eastenders, going to the Cinema or eating fast foods.. I am proud to say that I have pickled onions, seen Les Mis, eaten cold baked beans and queued several times for the latest HP Book....
Although I am equally proud to say I have never done a bungy jump, been on 'the big one', watched the wombles, eaten the worm at the bottom of a tequila bottle, walked the great wall of china, eaten rocky mountain oysters or taken a 'f****** liberty' with anyone that didn't deserve it!
