Following on from the stingy thread.........

I teach small children and one mother said she was sending her child to a Gaelscoil because "You don't get the Poles and Nigerians and all sorts going there, its a better class of person she'll be mixing with".

There's a few pseudo-intellectuals floating around AH lately who've made me facepalm with some of their comments on the intelligence of the average AH poster. Why are you posting here then? Slumming it?

wheni was in college in '99 an extremely posh git in my politics tutorial was talking about how people in tallaght didnt vote because theyre so happy to finally have jobs. I ripped the piss out of him and you can tell it was the first time he'd heard a working class accent in his loife loike

A mate of mine was on a train from Dublin to Bray. As the train was passing a field where some men were playing Cricket he turned to his girlfriend and said "oh look honey, Protestants!"

I don't have an exact comment but it's not long ago that some people would not be seen to shop in Lidl

Now the opposite is the case and people are proud of getting bargains

One of the largest Gaelscoileanna (hope that's correct) in the country is in Ballymun

Snobbery would have been one of the cricketers pointing at the train and saying "Look, peasants".:P

My sister used to do teacher training in Blackrock in Dublin, I think the name of the place was Frobel.

She was telling me similar conversations but the term used was "povs"

Pov means poverty means poor people
I've heard pov used on the radio too so some people were using it
