Loud garden party

[Jeremy]

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).

Here's what I don't get about very loud music in cars: if the bass is strong enough to shake my house as you drive past, how does it not actually hurt to be inside? Or do the occupants wear ear plugs and the loud music is for entertaining the suburbs....

[Otta]

All fair points of course. I can always rely on the EDF to reign me in when I indulge in a little bit of class stereotyping.

I have a very noisy arsehole.

Me too, though usually after a very fibrous working class meal.

What Jeremy said. There's some appalling snobbery on this thread.

Anyway, I actually came on to post this: https://s10.postimg.org/7edgxyt4p/image.jpg

Must be really tough being the victims of such snobbery. I feel terrible.

Y'all don't know what it's like, being male middle class and white...

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).

It's the Godwin's Law of EDF.

[Louisa]

Some people seem obsessed by it. It gets tiresome doesn't it?

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.
