Driving a battered old estate car with a good layer of dog hair and filth in the back..

Really?

The richest people in mine and the surrounding villages drive around in old Volvos with their dogs in the back. We are not talking six figure salaries we are talking lots of land and have not needed to 'work' in the conventional sense for generations.

I would not call them chavs by any strech.

A garden sofa? You mean those horrendous wicker or plastic monstrosities? The ones usually squashed in beside a table, six chairs, a stool thing etc etc? They are definitely not middle class…

You are the only person who describes chavs in this way

No she’s not Snd she’s a valid point, which is shit behaviour is shit behaviour

40 yr old nanny as in Mary Poppins (ie not some 18 yr old babysitter) - posh

Nanny as in grandmother aged 40 - looked down on, as clearly one or both generations were teen mums.

apintortwo · 03/09/2022 00:33

Having an 'artistic streak'

watercolour landscapes=posh
graffiti = chavvy
