Re: Are you a snob??
I see it round here all the time and it's become a pet hate of mine (synonymous with badly driven four wheel drives I'm afraid 
).

Funny how you don't see people whose kids go to State School with them on their cars though 
IMHO I think it's more about status than team spirit (and I'm thinking of sending mine private, so I've nothing against private).

Re: Are you a snob??
I don't think people realise the hurt they cause when they 'advise' people of where and where not to live. There was one poster who advised on here that the actual estate that I live in is a no go area in Port Kennedy, from where she got that little gem from I don't know as she lives in a neighbouring area (there is only the odd murder ffs
)
I didn't reply to the post because I don't feel I should have to justify the area we have chosen to live.
I think people try and justify their chosen area by implying other surrounding areas are not 'nice' to reinforce to themselves that they have made the right decision but should get down from their high horse and realise that these so called 'bad' areas are home to alot of people who happen to be very happy living there.

Interesting, of peoples self awareness.......but won't get into my psychology mode....
I for one, am not judgemental of people.....yes I believe that as human's we all make a gut instinct judgement of someone, within the first few seconds of meeting them, however I believe that my awareness has given me the opportunity to accept that what you see, is not always what you get!
and there endeth the lesson for today.....Ems x

Re: Are you a snob??
do you disagree though? do you think showing all and sundry that your kid goes private by displaying a sticker in your car is about anything other than showing off? as i say i've nothing against private schools, but for some reason that irks me (which probably says more about me than the people who brandish the stickers but there you go).
