Are you a snob?
You know, I've been checking out many of the threads on the forum today and it occurred to me that I was reading the outpourings of a load of snobs. The same old regulars, looking down their noses at all these horrible, inferior, lower class people, places and products in Van Diemens land.
So - you posters know who you are - put me straight. Are your musings the truth, or merely the high-pitched whining of a load of up 'emselves middle class little Englanders with too much time on their hands? Hmmm?

Or at least tell us which threads you're talking about. I don't have time to trawl through the pages finding the right ones. But I am happy to admit to being terribly nosey!

I always thought that Van Diemens land was NZ.

No for the true meaning of the word - someone who thinks they are better than they are. Yes - I don't like to mix with people of a lower class or intellect

Re: Are you a snob?
I'm not but I know people who are, does that count 
I heard someone on the TV refer to all of Aus as Van Diemens Land the other day. It confused me slightly but as I'm hardly an expert on Australian history I let it go
