ClassDan Prick tugs our coat and tells us: "I'm enormously middle class, and was once dragged along to a bingo club by a former girlfriend and her mum. It's incredible the fury you can whip up in a room of old biddies winning a fuckton of money and telling them 'This is a load of old shit, really'". Like Pulp's Common People, have you ever tried to act down, or act up?

Living in a place where the bronze age lasted from 1890 to 1891The usual trajectory for old money is 'rags to riches to rags in three generations'. I have had several pals point out the palaces that used to be grandpa's house, and then in short order ask me to 'loan' them a ten.

That's the trajectory for new money.Old money tends to have been around for a while. That's why it's called 'old'. The clue is in the word 'old'. Old.

What we have here is a failure to comunicateMoney, as in coin of the realm, hasn't been in these parts long enough to be old old. It was difficult to quantify wealth in beaver pelts and wampum.
New money is derived through selling cars, bilking old ladies, and palm greased contracts.
Old money is the same everywhere, something you ancestors once possessed but has since disappeared.
