    Drive 4x4's in town to drop the kids the 200 yards to school.Do the shopping while drinking coffee (as opposed to shoplifting while drinking dutch gold).
    Shop in Lidl because they can't afford to shop anywhere else anymore.

    Love 'em. Nothing better than a nice comma.

    Apart from a craftily placed apostrophe, possibly.

    Let on that they're very proper & well to do but snort coke every time they go to the bathroom.

    Drive around like maniacs in giant SUV's with one child in the back. Cause OMG like they totally feel safer in them right.

    Wear rugby shirts even though they've never even been to a rugby game but consder themselves longtime 'rugby people'.

    Buy their children ridiculously expensive presents which inevitably contributes to them becoming spoiled cynical monsters by the time they hit sixteen & then wonder why they turned out that way.

    Lots of beige & pastel coloured clothes. V necks & chinos.

    Very expensive & fast cars that they can't really drive properly.

    Sounds like the average person during the "Celtic Tiger" years to me guys.

    Too many people sold out & pretended to be something they're not.... & we all know plenty of them :)

    Calling their children Irish names and then mispronouncing them:

    Sorcha (correctly pronounced surrakha) - Sore-ka
    Caitlin (correctly pronounced catleen) - Kate-lin
    Saoirse (correctly pronounced seersha) - Shore-sha
    etc

    Laugh at upwardly mobile skangers pathetic attempts to emulate their accent.

    Laugh at skangers who say "derz no such ting as de wurkin claz! Oi iz just as good as dem poshies ind oi iz goin to show dem who iz de bossman now, weeerrrrrrr!!!"
    Revel in their inherent superiority over deformed skanger subhuman mutants.
