Welcome to Question of the Day. It gives interns something to do!
Jarvis Cocker once sang:“She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge / She studied sculpture at Saint Martins College / That's where I / Caught her eye / She told me that her dad was loaded / I said 'In that case, I'll have a rum and coca-cola' / She said 'Fine' / And in 30 seconds time, she said, 'I want to live like common people / I want to do whatever common people do / I want to sleep with common people-'"But why did the Greek girl who went to Saint Martins want to sleep with a common person? Was it because she wanted to get back at Daddy for that year he only bought her one pony for Easter? Or was it out of some misplaced sense of charity?Or (probably this one) are working class people just better in bed?
Yasmin, 17: Yeah, maybe, why not?You tell me.
If they’re used to getting dirty in their jobs, then they might be better in bed. Are you saying working class people are dirty?
No, they’re just more hands-on than upper class people. Is that a good thing?
Yeah, probably.
Steven, 26, (left) and John, 20, builders.
Both: Yes.
VICE: Why?
Steven: I just think other ones just think they’re a bit too proper. Well, the majority of them. Working class girls are better just for that reason, they don’t think they’re something they’re not.
Pete, 21, art student: Possibly, they probably get more.
What makes you say that?
They have a social life. I suppose upper class people's lives are more business related. So, the posher the person, the less socialising they do because their better pay-rate means they can't take time off?
Yeah. I prefer the working class. That’s all I’ll end up being. I’m an artist.
Chelsea, 22 (left) and Ryan, 27, both work for the navy. Ryan: I’m just trying to think if I’ve slept with anyone posh?
Chelsea: I’m gonna say yes.
Ryan: So am I. Why?
Because they’ve seen more. World experience makes you open to stuff, doesn’t it? I don’t know. Are you saying working class people have more world experience?
It depends, because posh people will travel more, but working class people will see more on the ground. On the ground?!? Harriet, 26: No. I don’t think so. How come?
Well I ask you, why should they be, my friend? I’m not sure, that’s why I’m asking you.
I don’t think so, because they work hard so they’re going to be tired at the end of the day. I wouldn’t go for a working class man, I want someone with money. Jimmy, 22, electrician (left) and Nick, 23, plumber. Jimmy: Better than who? Homeless people? Or upper class? Do you know what working class means?
Nick: That’s what we are. Are you better in bed than a posh person?
Jimmy: Well, I’ve never really fucked an executive. Alan, 26, charity worker: I think it's more to do with culture. Which culture is the best?
I’m going to have to say South American. Is your girlfriend South American?
No, my girlfriend is Japanese. Oops! Paul, 46, security guard: Yeah, not half. What does that mean?
Good. You’re obviously not a proper Cockney. I'm not even a Cockney at all, sorry. Why are they good?
I’ve not been in bed with a posh bloke, but I’ve been in bed with a posh girl and they’ve all told me that I’m much better than all their mates. Josh, 28, American: Probably, yes. They work harder, play faster. What about posh people?
I dated a posh girl and she was so up her arse, it was all about her. What happened?
She did my head in. It was all about her. You know Veruca Salt? It was like her. So, you’re going to say working class people are better in bed?
I’ve got a working class wife. They understand the meaning of working and a relationship. Trevor, 35, electrician (left). Trevor: Not sure. Why’s that?
I’ve never had a posh girl. What do you think a posh girl would be like?
Filth. I reckon it’s reverse. Because they all go to all-girl’s schools, so they’re more sexually frustrated.Previously - Would You Shoot Yourself to be Famous?
