Is anybody “Snobby” about anything?

My suit wearing occasions are strictly for weddings, funerals and court appearances. And hopefully my court appearance days are well behind me.

Not worn a pair of shoes since I left school though. Don’t like them. In fact, thinking about it, I don’t think I’ve worn any outdoor footwear that weren’t trainers in about 30 years.

I am a great believer in if you are wearing a suit you should wear a tie.
Another thing with younger ones today is wearing a suit and having a baseball cap on, grinds my gears.
And you should also wear lace-up black shoes, preferably Oxfords. NEVER, EVER, EVER brown shoes with anything other than brown/tan/beige trousers.

And don't get me started on people like Jeremy Clarkson, who wear nice blazers or sports jackets over jeans they bought from Asda for £10 that are a size too big.

M&S had a cracking pair of 10 quid jeans years ago.

Brown shoes, wallys or mephisto with blue, only selvage, denim. ?
 
I lived in Alex Scott’s part of the world and that’s how they speak. If you claim you would kick her out of bed then you’re a dreadful liar.

Assuming most of you are Mancs, do you not drop your h’s or your t’s? Bluvvuh, butteh… Eer ar to get someone’s attention?
I’m afraid your wrong in your second sentence of the first paragraph!!! :-) :-)
I’m sure one of the lads on here will tell you why!!! *lol*

Fortunately or unfortunately however you might look at it, my Grandfather used to stand me on a bench in front of a mirror when I was 4 or 5 yrs old to show me how to speak properly by shaping my mouth to say the letters and words. ‘How now brown cow’ etc!!

I’m not saying I have a ‘posh’ accent by any means but apart from occasionally saying ye instead of yes I’m not too bad. Plus when I was a Union official I did a course in Public Speaking as I was sometimes interviewed on radio and TV.

Sorry if I come across as a snob. I don’t want to sound that way. :-)


I like to speak proper like I was brung up to do!


EDIT: May I just add that I like Alex, she’s the best of the ‘newish’ presenters male and female. When she first started presenting her accent wasn’t as pronounced as it seems to be now. Maybe she just gets carried away the more she speaks. :-) Sorry if I’ve offended anyone.

Play was a masterpiece. He’s generally known to be a tit.

Clothes for me. There’s lads in the pub in puffa jackets, tracksuits, slides and socks. They look like wankers but half of the area dress like this.
I cannot stand that look even though I own every item of attire you have mentioned. I'd be ashamed to go out looking like that.

My aunt is a born and raised Salford girl (Broughton, born 1949) and you'd never guess. Sure she had elocution lessons as a teen at school. Doesn't speak anything like her siblings.
