"All fur coat no knickers" - where in UK or further afield?

[redwinetalking]

I have to admit I love this phrase and can think of several towns, areas and localities where "IMHO" it may have applied.

Obviously not travelled everywhere but what are you "FCNK" places?

I use it a lot as to me it just sums up places (or people) that big themselves up but do not make the grade - tiny e.g. a lightbulb out day after day in a hotel but no one notices, no one replaces. Yes I am a snob with high standards but I think everyone should try to be the best they can.

Scotland, particularly Glasgow. It's about the value of appearance over substance, that the person really cares about what the neighbours think of them. 'Net at the windows, nothing on the table' is similar - nets could be considered posh and would prevent anyone looking into the house to see that the occupants were too poor to afford food or decent furnishings.
