Surrey - Home to Britian's Most Prestigious Professionals and Executives

[PST7777]

Surrey has everything a woman of a certain class could ask for. Surrey is home to the top private primary schools in Britain, beautiful golf and tennis clubs, riding facilities, forests, hills, superb shopping in towns like Guildford, Godalming and Dorking, haute cuisine dining in restaurants for every taste, quick and easy train access to the City, Holborn, Bloomsbury or Harley Street if DH is employed in finance, the bar, academia or medicine. Simply paradise. I couldn't imagine why any woman who has been blessed with bounty could want to reside anywhere else.

You know, for all the complaints on here about people being nasty about Surrey (and there was plenty of that), the OP is the poster doing the county the greatest disservice.

Imagine what Surrey would be like if it was populated exclusively by clones of the OP.

'Such quality periodicals as...the Daily Mail'... You're being a bit obvious OP. I think you need to be a bit more subtle - tone it down a bit perhaps?

PS - you can't spell 'Britain' correctly.

Here we go again with the self-proclaimed 'geniuses' of Mumsnet asserting their intellectual superiority over others because they can spot typos in other people's prose. Nice job, Einstein. Frankly, I could care less if these postings contain mispelled words and gramatical errors, because like e-mails, they're meant to be generic, spontaneous and off the cuff. Do you finally grasp this concept, Pootles, or is it just too much for you all at once like this?

Yeah c'mon pootles!

The OP is definitely not English. If she were she 'couldn't care less'.

And that's not a typo or minor grammatical error, that's the wrong English dialect.

You are one angry, bitter person, PST ...

Face it, we could all live in Surrey if we wanted to - living there doesn't make you either special or better than anyone else. But we don't. And if it were full of people like you then no-one would want to live there at all.

God, I'm glad I moved back to London now. Much more civilized.

Yes, I didn't think she was English either. Which might explain some of her attitude.

Pag she said cuff not muff.

Of course I can't grasp such concepts, I'm an un-heducataed norvener remember?

Oh

I'm sure she wouldn't mind though. She sounds like she could do with it...

PST:

You haven't answered my question: SU or Chid & Lec? Or are you frantically googling to work out which would be the 'correct' answer?

Am intrigued malinois

She's not going to answer, Malinois, you know that!

I am actually laughing out loud, I love this thread. Though am v disappointed as op hasn,t told me which ofnthe Beatles live in Surrey.

I can honestly say, hand on heart I have never dreamed of living in Surrey. It's very silly to say that Surrey is the only place where I can have a lifestyle that I dream of. I'm very happy with my northern, rustbelt lifestyle and don't dream of anything different.

Agree that op does sound like she could do with someone grabbing hold of her muff.

PSPT7777 you're American, aren't you?

PST7777, not PSPT7777 obv.

Damsel, I love you! Though I've also got a thing about Malinois :-)

American? What would make you say something so vile? I am English--100%, I might add.

As far as the equstrian fanatic is concerned, I know what games you're up to. In fact I know you, and you know me. I just refuse to play your silly games. Now, carry on.

I think we should all move to Surrey, just to piss her off.

PST you said there were no tourist attractions in Surrey. I think Thorpe park and Chessington Zoo would count. Not very classy though.

Because, OP, there's seriously something not quite right about you. It's patently obvious that you've got the kind of hangups and anxieties about class that English people who are genuinely upper-middle just don't have. They don't care, and they certainly don't boast - it's vulgar. Ergo, either you are not who you purport to be, or you need some serious help from a counsellor to help you with your anxieties.

And smallwhitecat, I see you are small minded too. You should take reading lessons. First off, we established within this thread from the beginning that most modern BRITISH sociologists now agree the old British middle-class is internally stratified to include, at least two, maybe even more divisions: namely, an upper middle class and a lower middle class. Without going into too much detail, I can assure you that the notion of the existance of an 'upper middle-class' is no longer just an American construct. Secondly, if you actually believe Surrey is middle-class and Sussex (both East and West) are upper middle class than you better get out of Croyden once in a while. You can make an argument for Hampshire, at least the northeastern border areas, but you won't win that argument.

Regarding my use of an American slang term, so what? As British people, we all use Americanisms everyday. It's rather difficult not to, really, considering Americans are everywhere in the better parts of London these days, their television programmes are on every British channel, and their films are in every British cinema. We all use American slang these days whether we intend to or not. And no, I don't dislike our American cousins. The opposite sex with an American accent can be especially appealing (I think we can all agree on that point!), but I am not an American, so please don't play detective. You look terribly foolish when you try to think. And please leave Surrey in haste.

In other words, you are either:

(a) mad

or

(b) having a larf.
