The true metric by which you can judge English social class is "some of that nice ham".
If you go to make lunch and someone says, "ooh, there's some of that nice ham in the fridge", you're middle-class.

I saw a random reddit comment where someone theorized that Pennywise and Mary Poppins were the same species of primordial psychic entity, but Pennywise feeds on fear while Poppins feeds on joy. both of them eat kid emotions because fear and joy are more intense in kids. This is Canon for me now.
