Yep... most people are mainly concerned with their own lives, and their friends/families. I think that probably holds true regardless of how much money you have.


The occasional smug middle-class gathering, complete with hackneyed covers band, is really no worse than pumping loud music out of a clapped out Vauxhall Nova every day (a consciously lazy stereotype).

It just boring. So much on this forum gets turned into a debate about class. Don't get me wrong, I'm all up for a thread discussing gentrification, inequality, class and politics, but this one was about a loud garden party (and plenty of others are about lot's of other things, but get similarly diverted).
Otta, sneer all you like, but the abuse I've been dealth with because of lazy stereotypes and assumptions made by people because of where I work has been genuinely nasty and upsetting. Snobbery is lazy, bigotted and repellant no matter who is the target.

Being as I know nothing about you or where you work I won't suggest you grow a backbone. But regarding anything said on this thread, seriously grow a backbone!


I don't like to make everything about class, but as much as rah gets wound u[ by it being mentioned (in this case Lou did kind of jump on the back of my post a bit), I get wound up by people becoming defensive and dismissing every suggestion that people who are a bit better off in life may sometimes sneer at those that aren't. It happens, I've witnessed it throughout my life, both as the recipient and as an observer.





Aaaaaanyway, a party was had, everyone is still alive, and the music has now stopped. Happy ending.

    • It's a criminal offense. CICs can't fundraise on the street - they're a less regulated form of organization and that lighter touch means you can't do certain things until you commit to greater regulation.   If you want to fundraise on the street then you need to become a charity. if they have mislead a shop by stating that they are a charity, they're breaking criminal law. if they're on the pavement, again they are not licensed to do that and are breaking the law.  
    • Excellent, I hope so!
    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...
    • The owner may not be on this forum. Maybe you should let the police know you have it, in case the owner has reported it as stolen? Also, are you sure the owner hadn't just left it there temporarily while going into their house, or putting their bike away or getting it out? What street was it in?
