To be fed up with jealous people who seem to hate anyone who has more money than them?

[SexyClaus]

I seem to epitomise what some people hate - I live in a gated estate, drive a 4x4, am a SAHM and send my children to private school. Why does this mean that some people think this gives them a right to be rude to me or about the choices my family make? I would never look down on anyone who doesn't have or do what I do, so why is it ok to do it the other way round? I am so fed up with it! And you know the ones I really can't stand? Champagne socialists who think they are all left-wing with socialist ideals but are really just like me!

Why is MN so angry this week? I don't think OP has done anything to deserve the vitriol yet. Go Easy .

Ahhh bless!

Red. Rag. Bull.

(Chilli crisp, anyone? :) )

Ha Babylon i thought the rodger bit was just what you called them

Very confused. Is this about money or lifestyle?

I doubt champagne socialists would call you posh. really, don'tsee it. Aren't they by definition quite posh amd well off, just that they vote labour (if labour count as socialist nowadays). They might be judgemental about your lifestyle choices though, i admit it. From an environmental pov and a social cohesion aspect.

I am very pleased by this thread as i realise i may count as a champagne socialist! Very excited. Do you think 3 bottles of champagne in the fridge counts?!

And i'm on the cadbury's heroes. Way posher than quality street.

When I drink too much and puke, I have a special champagne bucket that I chunder in.

True class, me

Ha ha ha ha! And no I am not jealous of you as I am richer than you but do not think like you AT ALL.

Well cat i'm vair vair posh you know!

Sainsburys, chocolate shop red wine - on offer at the moment, down to £6 a bottle - though I think I'll stick with my 3 for a tenner from asda - good old blossom hill signature blend - you know where you are with that usually slumped down side of sofa after all 3 bottles

chocolate flavour wine?

SG, do come on

OP is a hairy handed trucker from Middlesbrough

it's quite clear

(nothing wrong with Middlesbrough, btw ...I am sure they have a surfeit of Quality St tims and Baileys)

*tins

No, chocolate wine is not good.

Keep them separate - much better.

Chew some chocolate, keep it in your mouth and shove some wine in. Thats nice. I tried it myself

"Enjoying the "you must be new money" line. It's all such classic jealousy...and totally wrong!"

Of course it's new money!

I'm from old money, but it all ran out, now we have to earn our own. I fancy living on a gated estate - my siblings who enjoy living in draughty Victorian homes tell me I am a chav. I think they have a point.

I'm shocked anyone would admit to buying counterfeit chocolates in public

Ferrero Rogers are 3 for 1 down the market

Kosovan Kev gives me a good deal round the back of his van...

Maybe the OP means she lives in a gated estate and she wants to know how to get her car out of the compound without paying?

Kosovan Kev gives me a good deal round the back of his van...

I know kitty i bet thats not all he gives her!

Of course you are new money. We don't talk about it.

We also know when to use who and whom.

Well when he was selling cheap washing lines he slipped me a length or two...

i get my DVD off a lovely chap he calls himself Knock-off Nigel :)

If your name is Dawn or Donna no amount of who vs. whom is going to make you seem classy. Don't try and comment on my nickname, it's not my real one.

We have a Knock-Off Nadeem! I wonder if they know each other

Kev's not keen him though and he doesn't take me round the back of his van

He actually drives a moped...
