Mr PP and I have only just got a car - yes it is a commodore, no we are not bogans or hoons. You wouldnt believe the comments we have had such as 'Oh you dont have a car? that must be awful' Now we have a car, its comments like 'a commordore, didnt you want a 4WD'

Comments not from friends but from people we know.

When we bought our duplex, it was 'I wouldnt live SOR if it were me, how many bedrooms, whats the pool like?' No pool, no spa, garden is in need of a makeover and the duplex is small.

Comments from Australians? Im afraid not, apart from the utter disbelief that we have managed a year without a car, the other comments have come from English people.

Dont feel a lesser person because of what you earn Mandy. You go to work, you pay the bills and you have a home. I say home because not everyone is lucky enough to have their house feel like a home.

Wrong type of bike? Hmmm, as you say he can change his mates - wrong type of mates more like it.

Dont change Mandy, dont change one single aspect of your life to fit in with others that dont matter and for anyone to judge you in this way, they certainly do not matter.

I would take issue with one point you made though
"Our weekly treat was a bag of crisps and a bottle of coke on a saturday night from the off licence".
BLOODY LUXURY, we would get a bag of fag doubts & a kick in the bollocks if we were lucky, including my sister. Did we complain? Did we hell as like!!
Happy days

But I am talking about something entirely different here, in my blog I talk about irritating habits/bad hygiene.

Not about types of property/car etc.

Or 'I hate Ute/Commordore drivers' etc.

Personally, IMO it doesnt matter where you live, what you drive its the person that counts and not everyone can afford the big car/big house in the 'perfect area'.

So come on, who has judged someone because of where they live or what they drive, does it really matter?

I live SOR and have had the odd comments 'Oh the bogans live there and Secret Harbour is much better'.

Does it matter?
