Re: Are you a snob?
Just as a side note (and because it annoys the Kiwis), New Zealand became part of New South Wales for about a year before it became a separate colony.

Re: 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?

In fact those huge private yachts in Sydney harbour are all owned by shop assistants.

I do however suffer from "Gourmand's Syndrome"
I must also confess to preferring the British lower middle class to their Australian counterparts.
One woman I met had to leave as she was "having friends round to watch Andre Reiu" on pay per view telly. What a load of shite

Re: Are you a snob?
Scottish Council scheme background so I'm not a snob.However,in so called classless socities like Australia I find the show of money makes me cringe.Aussie attempts at being "classy" have me pishing myself eg Some restaurants attempts at haute cuisine. I prefer the honest barbie.

Hutch is a bit of a hand grenade poster these days... chuck one in and then leg it while the explosion goes off.

Surely not! That would be....gosh, hardly dare suggest it...that would be...like...a "troll"? 
I'm beginning to think he's hacked my PC as about the time he posted this I was chatting on MSN to another BE member about reverse snobbery.

No way - that's just asking to be spied on.

Re: Are you a snob?
My Mum is a snob which is funny as she came from a very large poor family in Hackney.I remember when Eastenders started and I asked her if she was going to watch it as she was an Eastender and she went mad
My Dad had to tell me never to ask her againI have always been a disappointment to her but then again she has my snobby brother to be proud of
