Hi PP, this probably is a totally dumb question - but what is NOR/SOR?

Sounds like two new types of flu:huh:

:D

I think I have figured it out BB - having read the rest of the thread I think it means North of the River and South of the River.

Personally I couldn't give a monkeys if somebody lives on a houseboat slap bang in the middle of the river! It's the person that counts.

I have met a few astoundingly wealthy but even more astoundingly crass and arrogant snobs NOR but most people I have encountered are friendly and down to earth either way (we have stayed in both).

I wouldn't judge someone by the area they live in but yes I would want to and do live in a good area.

I think it depends on the motivation of the post. I think you have to try and strike a balance between letting new immigrants know the background of various area's so they can make up their own mind about what suits them - without insulting all and sundry who already live here with gross generalisations.

Mr PP picked up a cheap Commordore and someone said to him in utter disgust, 'oh they are bogan cars, can you not afford a decent 4wd?'

And yes, it was a POM that said it.

And I am afraid to say it hasnt been the first time such shallow judgement has been made.

I mean, does it really matter what kind of car you drive providing you drive sensibly and the car is road safe?

Re: How snobbish are you?
 

Erm no....cue Nissan Micra drivers :D

Re: How snobbish are you?
 

Cue - drink drivers - now they are the type of people that I cant abide, so I guess that could make me a snob. :D

Re: How snobbish are you?
 

Yeah drink drivers too! :D

Re: How snobbish are you?
 

I asked a receptionist at work once what a Bogan is - (Hadn't been here long - I really wasn't sure???).
She seemed embarrassed, laughed and said she was a bogan or would deemed to be a bogan because of the area she lived in and the type of house she could afford to rent. Oh and because she favoured wearing jeans and checked shirts :confused:
She was immaculate at work, well spoken - as in not using loads of slang/swearing or whatever being well spoken means, being very efficient and courteous to the public and I couldn't imagine her not being immaculate at home/leisure (checked shirt and hair down or not).
No I don't judge people by where they live.
I will say I have been really irritated by people judging me by taste in music though (and I have avast taste from classical to punk). Like you're a moron and low life if you listen to anything that they deem crap and if you don't like their choice. Really, it's only personal taste - does it matter in the grand scheme of things. If my marriage was based on music taste we would never have got past the first date!!!
I had a long standing ''friend'' who I hadn't seen in a while, we had music on at home and I had such a tirade of insults based on my preferences (they also got to play their preferences) that I gave a piece of my mind that is not how I conduct a friendship and friendly night in listening to music. That was 8 years ago and I have never heard from that ''friend'' since :thumbdown:.
