If someone tells you they enjoy holidays in the Caribbean, what do you think?

Do you think “snob” “posh” or “twit”

None of those.

catlady7 · 16/05/2024 21:01

Caribbean was one of my best holidays

Wasywasydoodah · 16/05/2024 21:01

I’d think, oooo I’d probably like that too. Then book a week in Wales…

Hotttchoc · 16/05/2024 21:02

Do you not like people being able to afford something that you (presumably) can't?

Dont think you should think the worst of them

MissAmbrosia · 16/05/2024 21:02

Lucky them. I don't like flying

Aposterhasnoname · 16/05/2024 21:03

Genuine question, why would enjoying holidays in the Caribbean make you a snob, posh, or a twit?

40andlovelife · 16/05/2024 21:03

I know loads of working class people who have travelled to the Caribbean. So posh defo wouldn't come to mind .

twoandcooplease · 16/05/2024 21:04

Well you're not going to not enjoy holidays in the Caribbean are you?!

MrSand · 16/05/2024 21:05

Sex tourist.

stripes92 · 16/05/2024 21:05

I think 'bet it's lovely there'

Well, exactly. There’s quite the difference between the Grenadines and the Dominican Republic

DGPP · 16/05/2024 21:09

I’d think oh lovely, I also love the Caribbean

BoobyDazzler · 16/05/2024 21:09

None of the above.

HonorGold · 16/05/2024 21:09

Just the OP that is super jealous

Taytocrisps · 16/05/2024 21:10

I think palm trees and coconuts.

RaininSummer · 16/05/2024 21:10

Why would you think any of those things OP?

Pollipops1 · 16/05/2024 21:10

I’d agree with them!

LifeExperience · 16/05/2024 21:10

None of the above. The Caribbean is great. I have been many times.

BoobyDazzler · 16/05/2024 21:11

MrSand · 16/05/2024 21:05

Sex tourist.

To the Caribbean? Is it known for sex tourism?

EmpressaurusOfCats · 16/05/2024 21:11

I’d think I wouldn’t fancy the long flight in economy, but they obviously either think it’s worth it or can afford to upgrade. Then I’d think about where I was going on holiday next, and probably then forget they’d said it.

Ephme · 16/05/2024 21:12

Thank you.

I mentioned to a colleague at work that I’d just booked a holiday for December. She asked me where and I said oh one of the Grenadine islands in the Caribbean. We love it there.

She said “God you sound like such a snobby posh twit”.

I have been to the Caribbean…..a very long time ago, so I would probably think “I don’t blame them”. I can’t afford to go now, my dc have never been abroad and I can’t afford to take them but I’m happy for people that can afford it. I have relatives who go abroad a lot, they work hard to pay for it so I’m happy for them.

Jegersur · 16/05/2024 21:14

I wouldn’t think any of those things. It’s not particularly posh to go there, is it? I’ve never been, but those I know who go there have family links and heritage.

twoandcooplease · 16/05/2024 21:14

@Ephme
She sounds like a rude fucking cunt!!

Sleepismyfavourite · 16/05/2024 21:16

Some of my extended family go there regularly & they are wealthy so it does have that association for me. Whereas the rest of my family are holidaying in Wales 😂.
