ooooh. a posh kids vs commoner types dispute!

[DameHermione]

DD does tennis. The courts belong to the posh public school and the tennis club rents them for lessons/games etc as the town doesn't have courts for us commoners.

DD has just phoned me to tell me the posh kids are refusing to leave and the teacher is taking them on.

I hope it doesn't end in fisticuffs.

I know i'm not unreasonable at all but as we all love a private vs state controversy i decided this would be the ideak place for it.

Off you go.......

wankers'

oh get the home drum tutor dont let maryz son see you can get silent pads though , dd puts her earphones in we never hear her guitar much

"only aloud off"

Freudian slip?

One of the posh kids will talk to Daddy who is probably a barrister and they will kick up a stink with the head about the common kids using the tennis courts that 'they bloody well pay for!'

pulls up a pew anyone want a ?

Huzzah commoners!

I have just returned from having a (cheap brand that you've never heard of) fag in the garden, wearing dressing gown and slippers and clutching a can of larger.

Only a confidently posh gel such as I could carry this off with such aplomb.

DD and her hard mates battered them with their tennis bats and chucked them in the river. They were soundly trounced and didn't slope off meekly, when told to by the teacher, at all

I worked in an Independent school once. The kids were mostly very lovely except for a few who called the state schools 'chav schools' and bragged about having gone to the local prep. I blame the parents.

Oh Lynette I missed your drum analysis. Vair good

I think the posh school allows the commoners to rent the courts at an extortionate rate as some sort of 'integrating with the community' charity exercise.

Just popping in for class clarification of piano if I may?

"only aloud off" - oh yes !

Chucked the bats or posh kids in the river ?

Clarification please !

Both.

8DameHermione*, Well yes, the school is a charity, and therefore must help those less fortunate than themselves. Maybe this is a tact the tennis teacher could use in future. Maybe the children waiting for the lesson could look sad and feeble for effect.

If the piano is an elderly and not terribly good one, then impoverished posh and/or bohemian.

I think having an old piano puts you in the aristocracy jen

Ah but aristos are often impoverished (these things being relative), all their money being tied up in the upkeep of the house and so on, and much of the wealth having been squandered by Happy Valley ancestors. I stand by my analysis

I'm very impoverished.

I don't have a horse though.

Hark at you and your 'racquets'

Dds guitar teacher comes to the house. But only because she won't go to bloody blasted school.

Although we're still commoners as the dds go to the comp rather than the 50k per annum posho school because i'm impoverished.

And all my feckless aristocratic ancestors frittered away the family money on bloody unproductive goldmines and gin.

should have gone for a scholarship dameh

This thread has made me :)

Class clarification of clarinet and flute please!

And what if you bought the piano off eBay for 99p??!! ;)

SO dame you are infact quite posh then just not rich
