The Catherine Tate Show - Aga Saga Woman

The Catherine Tate Show - Aga Saga Woman
The title of the sketch is a pun on the stereotype of the pretentious middle classes having an Aga oven at home. An Aga saga is a type of popular novel, set in middle England and populated by the middle classes of the sort that typically own Aga cookers. Agas are kitchen ranges, often very large and expensive, that are seen as epitomizing the prosperous and cosy middle-class English country lifestyle.

Some of the upper middle class stay at home mothers I encountered were howling at the moon - gone. The children didn’t stand a chance being raised by Lunatics.

[@operationpaperclip3952]

I am poor but educated. The eggs bit is satire, HOWEVER, the truth is: - The healthy carton of eggs must read cage-free that roam to eat worms + grasses and fruits, otherwise, the eggs were made by... - hens caged, no sun, ged gmo corn and/ grains - hens roaming free but fed gmo grains A. WHY IS feed important? Because the yolk has the healthy fats. Your brain is made of healthy fats. Your nerves and skin need healthy fats in ratio 3,6,9. B. Hens fed gmo grains, affect your atomic constitution. Molucules built with gmo food, have weak chains. GMO has now been linked to diseases. It took a while for research to finally tell the suspected truth. C. For moral reasons, I don't want to finance those farms raising Hens in cages. For those who think I'm hypocritical, I'm not. Vegans are the hypocrites who eat olanys while it's fact that plants are living things. I do eat meat, but livestock must be raised and killed morally. How many vegans wear leather goods made of animals: belts, shoes, drive cars with leather seats? Even plastic is made of animal, albeit dinosaur (and plants).

[@andrewwiltshire3212]

I do love that plastics are made primarily from oil that is a direct product of animal remains. I trust that vegans also avoid the South Downs National Park, where the chalk they walk upon is made from animal skeletons. Dead animals are still animals, whether dead 24 hours or 24 million years. @operationpaperclip3952
