To just hate rich, braying people today. I know I am, but I am just not thick-skinned today, angry, RANT alert

So we went out for a lovely afternoon waffle at the fabulous waffle house in St Michaels (St Albans). We don't go out much so it was a real treat.

Middle aged almost (mid 50's) couple next to us - him in burberry jacket, Hackett scarf and shirt. Her with £800 quid Chloe bag.

They were on the table next to us and came in the same time. They kept saying how lovely it was and how quick the service was. They had virtually the same as us. Their bill came to £16 - they paid with a twenty. They kept the change. The bloke said what about a tip. The woman said "that'll do, she's only young".

When they left they put 40p on the table for the waitress

Scottishmummy, 60% approx of calls on night duty are men masturbating.

I was kind of being funny and serious, didn't quite come off clearly

bree. Uncalled for.

bree

did she say she was a volunteer? i missed that bit

I'd have a home in the Languedoc region, Tutter, and probably a flat in Seville or Barcelona.

i am that i never knew st albans had a waffle house, its not that far from me.

come off is that a pun

Agree harpsichord.
Reckon she's ruffled a few chloe handbag owners' feathers.
It bags are SO over...

lol nice pubs though, i was stunned by the amount of bling in the boutique windows . i'd love to live in st albans though.

nah harpenden is da place

Bloody hell Bree , just explaining I wouldn't be here any longer so noone would think I'd gone off in the huff.

Braying fuck

good choices, expat

what about a cooler getaway for the hottest bit of the summer though?

SOutheastastra - I live in Harpenden It is poncetastic.

so would SE, i love st albans, but havent been there for years except for my driving lessons and test. must go soon ,and find this waffle house

I'd have a beautiful crewed sailing yacht and cruise around the Caribbean and the islands of the South Pacific..............

harpsi I think though that this line "

That's what A/C is for, Tutter .

Besides, my idea of hot is very hot - 35+ degrees with corresponding humidity.

At last, I have found out where these Cotswolds are!

oh oh i went to harpenden the other week, for a couple of mins to pick soemthing up, and must go back to look around properly.

laurie, i think its great u work for samiatains (scuse my spelling tonight) i called them a few times when dh was very ill. even though once i just sobbed down the phone at some bloke as i found it all too much.

Bookeeper

Not at all, I have with an other member of staff, chatted to someone in work until they decided to be a Samaritan.

I and another member of staff , know she is a Samaritan.

She does not feel the need to bray about it.

i went to seville once

it was too hot to do anything

I'd take it over any place in the UK any time of the year, though, Tutter.

It's the humidity that is what makes it hard to do anything.

the waffle house is right near the park misdee.

i went to harpenden on tuesday, usually only go only at night. the high street was boring unless you're very rich i suppose.

berkhampstead is very poncey too

Oh come on. I'm not a designer handbag person AT ALL and would never buy one but there are a few I could recognise - probably because I read the odd magazine and newspaper.

I happen to agree with the OP's anger at people being both rich and mean (she has said repeatedly she's not objecting to wealth in itself).

But even if I didn't, I can't understand why she's been vilified for daring to notice someone's handbag. I like a bit of people-watching, I often notice that kind of stuff. It never occurred to me for a second that that might suggest I'm jealous and unhappy with my lot. That just seems mad.
