Things Mumsnet is consistently snobby about..

[Thedarkmode]

I always find this fascinating.

AI holidays
Period features
SUVs
Buying new baby clothes/decorating a nursery.

What else?

Eating in the street apart from an icecream

So not all Londoners then.

Are you saying these things are all frowned upon OP?

No, some Londoners, which I did make very clear in my post.

No one should ever buy a flat then? Ever?

Not every leasehold property is a huge block where management companies have carte blanche to do as they please. I live in a conversion and it’s a condition of the lease that the ground rent can only go up every 25 years.

For a property lawyer, your understanding of the UK property market outside of the traditional three-bed semi approach seems rather limited.

I didn’t say no such people exist. Just that London isn’t some hive mind where we all think life ends at Watford.

I didn't say noone should buy one, I said I would never want to unless I had no other choice.

I am well aware of the variety of types of leasehold ownership. I am also aware that all of them involve at least some ceding of control compared to freehold ownership

well obviously not! if I was cooking it for a veggie, I'd use a veggie one, but I don't think it would give the same richness, but it would still give the texture.
but seeing as a lot of the things I make with cheese sauce tend to also have bacon in them, that's rather a moot point.

Lots of these things are polarising on MN and in RL. I don't think that there is a consistent approach of snobbery or inverse snobbery; just strongly held opinions on both sides. Disagreement isn't necessarily judgement (something I remind my DC of regularly).
Except ham. Even if you eat wafer thin reformed ham (and I do) I think we can all agree that naice ham is naicer.
Also eggy lemon drizzle: there is no excuse.

Not really as I'm not being snobbish toward it. Genuinely never heard of people eating those two things together - is it regional, like whether people have ketchup, curry sauce or gravy on their chips ?

The colour white in a whole range of contexts seems to send MNers into an ecstasy of smuggery. Babies must only appear in crisp white babygrows. Towels must be white. Also toilet paper. And plates. Any hint of colour and you are a chav and MN will curl its lip at you.

Do you know, @sprigatito, in the term 'crisp white #####', does the word 'crisp' refer to the clothing article or the colour white ? I've never understood why people would want crispy shirts, and I certainly wouldn't put a baby in non-soft clothing.

Been to a few AI that you have menus, waiters etc, even have your own waiter on the beach for smoothies/snacks etc.
Not all AI's are buffet!

my little snobby thing.
anyone else hate it when newsreaders say "buhbye" instead of "goodbye"
in most scenarios I don't mind it but it's always jarred on me with newsreaders, where I think they should be more formal than that.

You've just reminded me of something that is not a big deal and pretty irrelevant but has always irritated me. When grown adults say "it's slippy" instead of "slippery" like wtf?
Sounds so infantile

MN and holiday snobbery is gold. Not all MNers, probably not even the majority, but enough. There was a thread ages ago about ham and cheese sandwiches on holidays that had me in stitches. I must find it and read it again.

I feel like that about 'comfy'! Makes me squirm.

“Comfy”is in the dictionary and described as informal for comfortable.

Surely it’s an abbreviation and no different from saying “phone” as opposed to telephone.

@StarlightLady so is the word "hubby", just because a word is in the dictionary, doesn't mean I have to like it!

True!

I don't like hubby or kids or cuppa

I mean the words😂

Please will you post the link to the thread on here? I need a good laugh!

Thanks for giving me the nudge lol
