What's the most stuck up place you've been to?

[UrbanMan27]

Having just recently seen a video of a young man doing a video of Farnham on TikTok saying it's Tory and stuck up etc.

I was wondering if you've come across any town that has had stuck up people and what was your thoughts on such a place?

Deauville - safe to say fairly normal British family 2 adults 2 teenagers on holiday & dressed like it were not exactly welcomed with open arms 😂🤣 shame because it was lovely.

Oakham. well anywhere in Rutland really.

My university boyfriend was from Tunbridge Wells so I used to spend a lot of time there. I didn't find it particularly stuck up and was never treat badly by anyone there and I'm from Hull and have a distinctly northern accent.

Ditto! It was a university interview like no other! I left all my other uni interviews feeling like they had wanted me to come (E.g. a 2 way process, like any normal interview in life). Bristol physics was a rude interrogation. Not welcoming at all to any 18 year old!

Accusing people who are sharing their lived experience of "having a chip on their shoulder" sounds suspiciously like using emotive language to "victim shame". Everyone should be allowed to call out snobbish nonsense they've experienced.

ironically I ended up at a uni that’s probably more synonymous with toffs and “rahs” but never felt out of place like I did that day at Bristol!

It’s insular. Not stuck up. A duke would also get a suspicious reception if they weren’t born there (and no, Glyndebourne doesn’t count). Whereas if you’ve lived on the Malling estate all your life, you’re fine.

DM has lived in Lewes for 40 years now, and still gets dirty looks buying bonfire tickets from The Gardeners Arms because she’s “an incomer”.

Thank you Mum463 for your acknowledgement. It was indeed bullying and at the time it affected my self-esteem very deeply. Luckily there are other people with integrity and kindness around.

Whoops. I love most of the places mentioned, the ones I haven’t been to I’ve made a mental note to visit

😂😂brilliant

Daylesford is very close to Kingham. One of the two village “pubs” is owned by the Daylesford farm shop owner, Lady Bamford, and used to have a Michelin star but lost it. The other pub has still has a Michelin star.

Thank you for sticking up for the stuck up 😂

And the snootiest if the snooty - AH!

hipster areas down south which give of a vibe if not only are we hipster but we are a better class of hipster

This describes my old suburb to a tee. You only 'won' if you had a cargo bike, a transgender child and a small business selling eco-pottery (with a passive income from a sizable inheritance on the side) 😃

Otherwise, I don't think you can get more ridiculously stuck up than Young Law Practitioner's Association type networking events. Cringe!

Honestly Dh and I are not chippy in the least but our Babington House visit was funny the members literally looked down their noses at us and tutted.

Once saw a sign in a shop window there appealing for old newspapers.

'Broadsheets only'

Of course.

Found the photo!

The posters who mentioned DL Clubs clearly haven’t visited the one I am a member of,it’s as rough as old poke!

Kensington I guess but I really luv it there.

Zara - I've only ever been in once. I asked a sales assistant to explain the sizing. She liked at me with a long stare and told me they didn't do clothes for anyone as big as me (I was a size 14). Apart from anything else, that didn't answer the question.

Mid Century furniture shop in Leeds abii oh it 20 years ago. I (then 30 and not unfashionable) and DM (50 something and scruffy) went in to fill in the gaps in the cutlery set she had that had got lost over the years. Also to ask about repairs to a particularly iconic piece of furniture m. We walked round the shop with dm saying "ah yes, your Dad had an original one of these" whilst the sales assistant totally ignored up. She was astonished when she eventually spoke to us and found out we actually used this stuff.

NCT - I found my tribe at Surestart though.

@Whyishewearingasombero Am I wrong for not judging the newspaper ask as stuck up? Just discerning, IMO 😂Hate the tabloids for being misogynistic and plain nasty.

They then become the lawyers who post on the higher education threads on mumsnet.

They don't do the law profession any favours.

It may be that the newspapers were being used for a specific purpose and therefore the size of the newspaper was relevant. For example, I used The Guardian to line my cat's litter tray as it was the right size and finally made that newspaper useful.

Weird vibe maybe, but Lewes is "posh hippy" MC and DFL, I haven't met anyone 'posh' but on a "stuck up" rating it rates pretty high. DH is a born and bred Lewesian and he now wants away from here.

At every opportunity I head back home to Petworth and Midhurst. DH observes theses places to be full of posh people. Yes maybe so, but the place isn't full of snobs and virtue signalling DFLs in turn ups and Bretton tops who quietly judge everyone not in favour of rewilding the high street. Lewes really is that bonkers that we have people wanting to rip up the tarmac and rewild the high street whilst getting paths laid down along the river to keep their wellies clean.
