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

You sound nice. How does the loud music help your back problems? You couldn’t just sit in the hot tub at a normal volume? Course not, that wouldn’t be showing how “wild and fun” you are.

Mine do it every weekend if the weather’s nice, so I can’t ever sit in my own garden because I can still hear them even with noise cancelling headphones on - could I get a little sympathy? 😂 (I’m moving house hopefully soon, fingers crossed the new neighbours understand that fences don’t actually provide soundproofing…) They don’t just have a bar, theirs has a great big tv in it.

We've a few near us. All small gardens and houses very close together, someone has got a bar, a hot tub and an outdoor cinema. Fine if you're in the middle of nowhere but not so fine when you can hear their film blasting through your open windows.

I can't imagine getting wound up by that, but you do you.

Chav stands for council housed and violent. Used to be used to describe Vikki Pollard type people but I see it more commonly used to mean "common" and/or working class. I don't know what context OP was using it in though

Haha. Chav certainly does not mean working class. Pure snobbery. Not sure if you are aware, but you can be working class and not "common"

Things people do in their own garden can affect others, unless your garden happens to be several acres🤷‍♀️

I would be more worried that a bar in the garden meant they were party animals rather than the aesthetics of it.

@Rosessmelllike

my immediate neighbour has a hottub and I don’t have a neighbour on the other side so I don’t have to really worry that much about noise
and yes I’m always charming in the morning

@Oilyoilyoilgob I don’t even know where Skegness is 😂 and I’m to messy for anything crushed velvet .

and to be fair the pub at the bottom of my garden make far more noise than my hot tub ever will .

Wow, don’t people take things personally! I remember a neighbour in the 70s with a boat shaped bar in her living room. She also had a net suspended from the ceiling with glass balls and shells in it. My DC liked it, but I wasn’t persuaded to have one.

If someone has a garden large enough to have a bar, a hot tub or anything else where noise won’t impact on the neighbours, then it is their choice. However, most of us don’t have huge gardens, and should be considerate of others and their outside space. Unfortunately there’s an element of ‘its my garden I can do as I like’ with no regard for anyone else. That is, IMO, ‘chavvy’ behaviour.

I suppose it's the latest aspirational object for moderately successful drug dealers who can't afford an Audi.

Can’t stand them. Put some plants in instead and go and support a pub. Plus I always imagine they stink for some reason.

So spot on, hilarious!
I’ve been enjoying the “middle class indicators” thread and think you should start one for “chavvy class indicators” 👏

I live in a suburban street of mainly 1930s houses, upper halves pebbledashed. They don’t look bad, just of their time. I prefer the ones in original condition to the few that have been rendered and painted in garish mustard, blue, green, although the ones painted cream or off white look good.

Personally I don't see the point. I guess they keep a fridge In this bar ? I guess they can be fun for some people. I don't drink no point for a couple bottles of coke. But I would be pleased for a neighbour if they had one. It's about enjoing it and they do. So all good

It’s your language and way you communicate that reflect badly on you, rather than any of your purchases.

Why so triggered? Do you also struggle to talk in real life without efffing and jefffing or was this tirade especially formulated for this thread?

We have a bar in our back garden and it's great for socialising. My hubby has decorated it with his love of the Beatles and 80s films and we love it! I don't class myself as Chavy ??!!?? We have friends and family round and have a few drinks or my hubby and I will sit and play cards or watch a film enjoying the sun at the bar. We are very courteous of our neighbours never have loud music on and are very respectful. Love our bar

I suspect it affects their neighbours quite a lot.

Don’t forget the ghoulish nails/eyelashes/lips/hair extensions for the women.

Fucking hell, some people are horrible aren't they.
I mean, I wouldn't have a bar in my garden either (mainly as it's not big enough) but nor would I start throwing lazy stereotypes around at those who have different taste to me.

HA HA! Crushed velvet! HA HA! Bulldogs! HA HA! Sofas bought on credit! Listen to yourselves. It's pathetic.

I wonder if years ago, when the likes of the Devonshires and the Wentworths were building extravagant and ostentatious follies in their gardens, people stuck their noses up in the air at them too.

Oh god no don't you know? Members of Mumsnet are all squeaky clean, brilliantly intelligent people, who would never do something so mundane as pass judgement on something, or have opinions. 😄Only their husbands have opinions, and they just repeat them.

Of course they are passing judgement on op right now, but they can't see that...

For what it's worth, I think they just look stupid. It's the same with the artificial grass and anything else that looks like it would belong on love island. I've seen house adverts saying the bar/hot tub/other crap will be left behind in the sale. It bloody would not be if I was buying it. 😂

yanbu (apart from word chavvy which is not acceptable) - they just scream late night noise to me and I HATE late night noise in residential areas.

I always wonder why people are so worried about looking tacky/naff/chavvy. Trying to be ‘classy’ the whole time is very dull. Can’t do this, mustn’t wear that, don’t be seen there……..it can seem terribly pretentious.
Enjoy life. As long as it’s not hurting anyone one else, people should do what makes them happy. Hot tub, bar, pampas grass, crushed velvet…….nothing wrong with any of them if they make you happy.

Chavvi is a gypsy/Romany word for a male.

Not the point I know. :)

I’ve never seen one.

i have a big garden (couple of acres) and quite like the idea of a summer house with a fridge and stuff for making drinks. I wouldn’t make it look like a bar though and I’m not sure why you would unless you want to play at being a barmaid. Like people who decorate their house to look like a hotel

Ah op I see you are one of those people who openly sneers at social media yet privately consumes it voraciously.

@FlibbertyGiblets Chav means Cheltenham Average. Dates from 1980s.
