Face-to-face, I would simply have slowed down for hard-of-thinking, but I had to come up with another way with the written word....

Not at all...

Most people can determine the meaning of a word being used by the words around it, and some can't.. I believe school teachers call it 'Comprehension'.

Just thought I'd make it a little easier for you....

Despite reading all the posts on this thread, I still have no idea what a "non-U word" means. Can somebody kindly explain.

Yet, I always find its the aspiring middle-class who tend to be the first ones to mention class......

The important word in there is aspiring...

To be non-u, I would have to be a member of the 'aspiring middle-classes'...

You SO do not know me.....

Yet you seem so touchy, especially when I have not actually suggested that anyone is of any class at all.

well I am going to admit that I am deeply envious of MM's membership to JBH, if Atilla had that in his package I would be over the moon!! I love the hotel, always have done. Nothing better than sitting the pool while the kids are being entertained in the kids club. I love it!! well done MM

best beach club, my arse
I am suprised that you are not already a member..you would fit right in darling.
I use the pool area and restaurants..I have never been a beach person.

The Shoreside resort is also nice, it is where the old JBH resort used to be. lovely beach and a nice chilled atmosphere. I think 3 months membership for a family is 3000dhs or you can pay 150dhs a day and get 50dhs back on food or drink

Obviously your definition of 'suggested' and mine differ.....
