You are a snob to call it "Chavy" to have a bar in your garden. It's absolutely none of your business and they sound like they have a laugh and a life

FlibbertyGiblets · 12/07/2022 22:47

Ah right, so: poor, uneducated, lower working class, perhaps underclass, I see. Thank you for explaining.

BeautifulWar · 12/07/2022 22:47

I am a total snob, sorry.
I have v fun and wild parties without a bar.
Scrolled through Drainbook earlier and there seemed to be ALOT of people showing their home bars off , maybe I'm bitter because I'm sat drinking my white wine on the sofa.....

Alot is not a word...we can all be snobby.

Mememene · 12/07/2022 22:47

I would rather be in their garden than yours even though I don't drink. I bet they have a right old laugh, perhaps you should try it rather then being so judgmental.

cushioncovers · 12/07/2022 22:47

Yep they look tacky as hell but each to their own.

JoelyJoe · 12/07/2022 22:48

Who gives a crap?
You enjoy "fun and wild parties without a bar". They enjoy parties with a bar.
Perhaps you can post a picture of your garden so the rest of us can tell you what we don't like about your taste.
Get a life. I reckon you're just jealous!!

As in party for one?

Kite22 · 12/07/2022 22:49

I mean, I don't want one in my garden, but I am wondering how many people's gardens you are going in to, tbh. Confused

As long as it is in someone else's garden, I can't see how it is bothering, or annoying you.

Mattress, sofa or white goods in front garden, time spent in sportswear hugely disproportionate to time spent exercising, member of one of those weird families where uncles and/or aunts are same age or younger than niblings, grey French bulldog to match grey crushed velvet sofa (bonus points if on the "never never"), visits Skegness and enjoys it, white financed Audi, wears one of those wanky GG belts

This is the BEST described chav I have ever read🤣🤣

Underclass? Wtf?

Suddha · 12/07/2022 22:51

It is tacky and I’d be horrified if my neighbour had one, not least because of the noise. Each to their own though, as long as I don’t have to live next to it.

MrsBwced · 12/07/2022 22:52

I've seen much nicer ones than the one in the picture.
I can't take anyone seriously who looks through Facebook but calls it Drainbook. tbh it's cringy.

Instead of wasting your time sneering at others on SM, you could do an online SOAG course. Just a thought.

WinterMusings · 12/07/2022 22:53

I'm sending my phone on one SPAG

Aren't garden bars a bit Summer 2020?

It’s really not and I’m surprised so many folks actually don’t even know what chavvy means, including the op, who not only doesn’t know, she also doesn’t know what a snob is, and sadly has poor spelling and grammar.

Sitting getting drinking on her sofa, stalking face book, calling it drain book, and pretending her getting pissed on the sofa is some form of wild party.

if she wants to know what a snob is, I suspect she’s about to find out

TabithaTittlemouse · 12/07/2022 22:57

@TwoMonthsOff oh! Thank you

NashvilleQueen · 12/07/2022 22:58

A mean-spirited and inelegant thread based on tired old stereotypes. You're a snob only in the Hyacinth Bucket sense - pathetically.

Zoeslatesttrope · 12/07/2022 23:00

Trying in vain to imagine what would be a "classy" thing to have in the garden?

psychomath · 12/07/2022 23:00

The one in the picture looks tacky, but I've seen others that look nicer and people can do what they want in their own gardens anyway, so YAB doubly U.

Zoeslatesttrope · 12/07/2022 23:00

A... folly?

NashvilleQueen · 12/07/2022 23:02

Croquet?

lightisnotwhite · 12/07/2022 23:04

What is the actual point of them though? How do they work any better than wine bottles or beer in an big ice bucket? Unless someone is stuck behind it all night you might as well just put drinks on a table outside.
I mean an outside fridge is one thing but you really going to have booze chilling on your patio on the off chance someone pops over and the suns out or it’s warm enough to be outside. Seems wasteful.

crosbystillsandmash · 12/07/2022 22:37

You do realise you're not a snob?
While it's nothing to aspire to, nothing you have written would suggest you're a snob.

Lacking manners and/or basic knowledge really don't make you a snob, in fact some might describe you as more of a chav!

@crosbystillsandmash goodness me😂😂😂 lighten up! People are allowed opinions even if they differ from yours, it’s not like she’s gone round to ‘johns bar’ told him it’s shit, why has she got bad manners expressing her opinion🤣🤣 she’s only offended you, not the actual bar owning g neighbour! It’s an opinion on a forum!🙄🙄🙄
