You may be astonished to learn that this is an illusion, a trompe-l’oeil. The whole thing — not just the major painting (supposedly by Poussin) -- but the drawings, easel & paintbrushes have all been painted in oil by Antoine Fort-Bras on a wooden cutout (1686, Calvet Museum)

Hats off to a woman called Sarah we met in the street on Friday night, while looking for a suitable pre-gig pub. She'd driven solo ("my husband likes Bruce Springsteen") from North London to Wolverhampton to watch the mighty #HMHB, and joined us for a few beers. Great commitment.

Broadly: UK working class make their living with their bodies, middle class make their living with their minds, upper class make their living with their assets.
But it isn’t just you, it’s also the people you’re from, your beliefs, attitudes, aspirations.
It’s not about income, at individual level.
