Is anyone IRL as ghastly as Miranda Elliott ?

Genuinely curious. She's frigid, venal, deluded, snobish, condescending and I could go on. Has anyone met anyone like that? Are they a fixture of upper middle class rural life?
Having said that, after the horrors of the Helen/ Rob affair I am genuinely enjoying Lil's and Justin's geriatric adultery story. Maybe that's Miranda's role- to be the wronged wife no one feels sorry for (except maybe for Jennifer).

I can think of someone that bad. Awful woman. The first time I met her, she sidled up to me and pointed out that someone else at the meeting was wearing a coat she'd donated to the charity shop.

But she's the only person of that "type" I've met who's as bad as Miranda, in three decades of village life!

Yes, I meet a lot of horse people, but the worst sort of wives around here are not horsey (many with loads of money/husband with very well paid jobs) don't work, have been moved for husband's job to somewhere they don't like. Not enough smart shops, not enough to do. Many are very rude and nasty, although this is usually down to tranquilisers / alcohol.

Also the script writers are not very good about anything to do with horses. I would imagine Miranda with all their money would have here own stables, grooms, indoor school etc, not keep them at Shula's rather amateur establishment
