Scuppie defined:

SCUP·PIE /skәp·e/ n. (Socially Conscious Upwardly-mobile Person)

1. A person who desires all the best life can offer and strives for those goals in a socially conscious manner.

2. One who is dedicated to the pursuit of peace, happiness and cash (not necessarily in that order).

3. Someone ‘green’ -- i.e. one who understands the love of money does not preclude the love of nature...and vice-versa.

'A person who desires all the best life can offer and strives for those goals in a socially conscious manner.'

Depends on your definition of 'the best'. The mentality of ishers (and lets face it, alot of us are mental) can't suit everybody. Each to his own I say, and the more 'green' you can be whilst doing it - great. W.

I think I am downwardly mobile (hows that for a definition?) but I would rather be Ish than rich. Just to have enough to pay the bills and live a life without to many worries is, in my book the good life.

ish and dowmwardly mobile here, and due to be put out of work later this year (not retirement) - - but I was never 'up' so where can i go down to? cardboard box mayhap?

I was listening to my usual saturday morning radio progs and one of the guests suggested that listeners would all be middle class - so I switched it off - as that it so obviously not me,
I was sooo angry that the man assumed that those that tuned in to the prog would not be of a 'working nature' - does he really assume that anyone not middle class is also uneducated and uninterested ? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

There's an amazing lot of people who do! Low income = no brains, in many minds.

I'm a wierdo. My habitat is Essex where I am started at on a daily basis for wearing either my wooly hat, wierd scarves, hippy handbag, poncho, toddler or a combination of the above. My preferred source of nourishment is anything laced with chilli, corriander, oregano and/or lemon and I can be found at my computer, sewing machine or sitting in my garden on a dis-used yoga ball, drinking tea and reading a book.
This position is subject to slight change during harsh weather conditions when I may be found in the garden, on my yoga ball but hiding under an umberella and wearing my wooly hat, wierd scarves, poncho, toddler or a combination of the above again.

Who wants to be 'normal' anyway.
We personally don't want to live in a catagory! There are too many people these days who worry too much about how much money they earn, their job title and their status in life, we like our work mates to think of us as 'that odd couple, who grow veggies, have chickens and try to swap eggs for a bacon buttie'! (which incidentally does work!).
Stop the world we want to get off!!!
