Sure fire signs that the area is posh.

    So after reading the 'sure fire signs that the area is rough' thread it got me thinking about this so I stole that idea. It's also an opportunity for all the people in that thread who felt hard done by to have a go at the "other half"

    I'll start
    Audi's. Audi's everywhere.
    Electric gates with those stupid key codes.
    No children to be seen except when they're been driven to school in said Audi's.
    People doing the gardening who clearly don't live in the home.

    Anyone else?

    The whole place is very well maintained and a pleasure to be in or around.

    The people are generally friendly and not overly aggressive for no apparent reason.

    No driveway, just a landing pad.

    Streets with no house numbers but house names instead. They are the bane of my job.

    They have distinctive tastes and preferences and seek out enclaves of others who share them.

    Their culture incorporates little of the lifestyle or the popular culture of the rest of the nation.

    They increasingly look down on that mainstream lifestyle and culture.

    Meanwhile, their children & themselfs are so sheltered from the rest of the nation that they barely know what life is like outside their bubble of self importance.

    No teenage pregnancies. If you see a 15-year-old girl with a pram it's because she's babysitting for the Derbyshires.

    Old women caked in make up, with a dash of botox and most definitely in stupid white pants....walking some little rat of a dog

    Wish I could give the thumbs up a few more times.
    Affluent areas seem to have more trees and greenery all round.

    Because they generally get broken by scummers in scummer areas.

    I believe you're more likely to find that in the other thread mentioned in the OP

    They dont use the word batter.


    A good thrashing would be more appropriate. I would also accept, broil, tiff or even tussle

    Animal grills at the gateway of the house driveway. To stop those damned animals getting in.

    This is a question of honour which may only be resolved by a duel to the death.

    And it is indeed the rarest of privilege for a member of the help to be bestowed an opportunity to fight and die on our behalf. The stories that their offspring might tell later in life, what? Butlers at dawn!

    Yes, it does. Weedy looking cats, that cost a fortune. Their recall is terrible, they're deaf, who knows. Obviously can't be trusted.

    No unka-chunka modified Japanese imports with flower-pot exhausts being driven by kids that are younger than the cars.....

    Grass - grass verges, parks, green areas

    Space between the houses

    The area is represented by a PBP oik, but one with a private education.

    Grid boxes outside every house exit where the owner barges the nose of his 4*4 out halfway onto the road every time he/she needs to exit, expecting all and sundry to give way for his benefit.

    Security cameras hidden like woodpeckers in trees.

    Deserted avenues bar the odd aul one in drooped arse yoga pants **** a poodle or the like.
