Sure, we've heard it all now.

Absolute NOTIONS.

Apparently, a Spiralizer is one of 16 items which, if you have them,  means you simply must be ‘middle class’.

This all comes from ‘etiquette expert’ Willian Hanson, who knows his humidifiers from his dehumidifiers, in a study for insurance provider Esure.

This is the list they came up with, via i100:

1. Smart TV (owned by 42% of middle class households)

2. Dyson vacuum cleaner (owned by 38% of middle class households)

3. Barbeque (owned by 31% of middle class households)

4. Vinyl records (owned by 17% of middle class households)

5. iMac (owned by 12% of middle class households)

6. Nutribullet (owned by 11% of middle class households)

7. Antler or Samsonite luggage (owned by 10% of middle class households)

8. Wood burning stove (owned by 9% of middle class households)

9. Spiralizer (owned by 8% of middle class households)

10. Mulberry bag (owned by 5% of middle class households

11. Matching coasters (owned by 5% of middle class households)

12. Boiling water taps (owned by 4% of middle class households)

13. Hot tub (owned by 4% of middle class households)

14. Aga range cooker (owned by 4% of middle class households)

15. Smeg fridge (owned by 4% of middle class households)

16. Brompton bike (owned by 3% of middle class households)

And now for the breakdown.

The way we see it, if you have up to five – You like nice things but you haven’t completely lost touch with reality.

If you have between six and ten – you might need to start wondering if you’re Edward Norton’s character at the start of Fight Club, your life defined by your possession.

If you have between 11 and 16 – there’s a serious case of notions happening here. You need to throw half of your shit out.
