Fed up of seeing Bars in people's gardens?

[Mybumlooksbig]

Anyone else think they are as tacky as hell 🤢

YABU- let people do what they want in their gardens
YANBU- I agree, chavvy AF

They mean old white goods in the garden.

Are you sure, becayse that doesn’t tie with Audis?

You're not a titty, nobody cares if you bounce

I see OP hasn't been back. Hopefully realised what a complete idiot they are for starting such a twatty thread.

Life is very short and I can't believe people spend time judging other people. Just live your life. You are going to die pretty soon. Don't be nosey what other people are doing. You sad fuckers.

I'm a bit of a snob but a family member has one and its fabulous - beautifully done with tap beers, fantastic memorabilia from around the world. It's the polar opposite of chavvy.

I'm jealous and intend to have one as soon as I win the lottery.

As you say, ‘flippantly’. That’s the important word in your post.

There have been a few of these threads recently. Specifically posted to cause upset and then they end up in the papers.

A shitty excuse for journalism or a coincidence? No idea

Working class doesn’t mean tacky. Affluence doesn’t mean tacky either. Enormous TV in a tiny living room is tacky. Stupidly souped up bangers are tacky. Huge unnatural lips are tacky. Going to the local paper about a child being in trouble at school for having a ridiculous hair cut, false nails etc is tacky. Having a bar in a garden may be pleasant, even tasteful, but its the associated behaviour that worries people.

Neighbour noise is a huge issue, often preventing people from the quiet use of their home and garden.

Enormous TV in a tiny living room is tacky.

How about an enormous TV in an enormous living room?

And the schooling continues....

Driving an Audi is frowned upon????

For goodness sakes, this is ridiculous.

Audis have a reputation.

Although I once saw a child driving a mini toy Audi around the park. I said "Blimmin' Audi drivers!" to the parents and they laughed.

Audi's are very popular where I live and range rovers. They are very well built reliable cars. I can't see a problem with them at all. Most cars look the same to me these days anyway but I agree for some they are status symbols.

All Audi's or any particular model? (I am thinking TT for some reason).

I feel I need to know this, as what if I ever decided to move to the UK and needed to do some car shopping.

Enjoy! Looks great

Council house and violent? I’m not sure where you’ve got that from 😆

This thread dropped off my threads I'm on so assumed it was deleted or something and it's appeared back now so that's why I'm only responding now. Have only read to this comment and because I can see there's almost 500 posts on the thread and I will read them but there's probably more correcting me or laughing me like this reply.

I didn't pull it out of thin air, I got it from Google about ten years ago when I googled what it meant after being called "chav scum" when I was at the park with my young nieces and nephews pushing then in the swing etc. I didn't know what it meant so googled and still not sure why someone called me it unless they judged me a single mum to six kids and decided it gave them the right to make comments like that.

Anyway, that's what many of the google search results at that time said it meant, (which will have been like ten years ago) and I've heard others say it's in an acronym for that since, theres also still search results that say that but they're more varied now including the racial slur info, it's also mentioned on a Wikipedia as being widely used as a backronym but also goes into the etymology. I've included some screenshots but there were many others.

Its not a word I use because I've only ever heard it used in a shitty snobby way, I had no idea it was a racial slur though, I'm surprised it's allowed to be used on here, I've never seen people called out for racism when using it and MN don't delete threads and posts using it. If OP used any other racial slur it wouldn't be allowed to stand, is it a case of ignorance and the people using it as an insult so casually don't know they're using a racial slur or that people do know but just don't care and use it anyway.

I am working class. Ive seen plenty of thread on here that call anything popular among the working classes as chavvy. I don't even think there's anything wrong in being "common" either.

That's what I meant, I've seen it used a lot in that context on here loads, to sneer at or label something as "chavvy" when it's popular with working class or low income people, just one that sticks in my mind is a thread near Xmas calling people who wear pandora bracelets chavs, the men stood with children choosing a charm as lazy and uncaring dads/husbands and then wondering if it's "a class thing", people calling it toy jewellery for children. That type of sneering while calling people chavs is what I see it used as, especially on here, it doesn't mean I agree or like the way it's used. I've had it used against me as an insult and it made me feel stupid and shit because I wasn't smart enough to think of a reply or what it even meant.

Most threads that has "what do you secretly judge people for" will have it used in that context on them. Which is what I meant. I didn't know if OP was using it that context.

Fine. Not the same as a room dwarfed by a screen. I have a small living room BTW.

All of them, as far as I'm aware. They do have a reputation, or rather their drivers do. I'm sorry to say that my experience of tailgaters does seem to bear it out.

Come on, come on, MN. A bit of decorum here, please....

Generalisations are at best useless and at worst harmful. You can't make sweeping statements that insult or demonise entire swathes of people who may have nothing more in common than the colour of their hair, or their hometown, or their choice of supermarket. It's not fair, it's not logical and it's intellectually lazy.

The thing about Audi drivers, however, isn't like that. Audi drivers are arseholes. All of them. This is objective truth supported by shared experience. That's just the way it is.

Carry on....

A cowboy saunters into a car showroom and says, "Audi."

Hahahaha

I often wonder what comes first? Do you already drive like an aresehole BEFORE getting behind the wheel of an Audi or does it turn people stupid once they enter the car??? Also, I think the fact that most people driving them have nicked them leads to the stigma hence their chavvy status.

most people driving Audis have nicked them?!

and you’re looking down your nose at others?

wow - this really is a whole new level of stupidity

Brilliant - I assume the grammatical errors are deliberate.

I think quite a lot of people don’t realise - it does get thrown about a lot by newspapers etc in a way that other slurs don’t.

But on the other hand anti-Gypsy/Traveller racism is far more accepted in the UK than other forms of racism. For example any thread on here where Travellers are mentioned descends into hideous racism within about 3 posts.
