Chalk and Cheese. A real lady.

AskMyChocolate · 22-09-2010 11:44PM #1

I was having a pint earlier on tonight when the heavens opened. It was in a pub in Ranelagh (not one of the posh ones). A young wan, obviously born with a silver spoon in her mouth, stepped in to the doorway to take shelter. I tried to be civil ie."Filthy night out there". She looked down at me as if I'd just taken a **** on her umbrella.
Meanwhile, the lady who had been serving us all night, was managing to stop arguments and keep a good atmosphere going in the pub.
She had that "Je ne sais quoi" that keeps people in order, while your wan saw us as inferior.
I wouldn't mind but both myself and the woman behind the bar came from the area that the young wan was now living in. I'd imagine her father would have liked us.
The difference was, that you could have taken the lady behind the bar into either the members bar in the K club or into a crack den in Killanarden and she'd have got on fine whereas you couldn't have taken the "posh girl" into either.

So, (rambling aside) what defines a lady, or indeed posh?

Can't believe I ended my OP with a question. I'll never make a thanks-whore.:pac:

Tell the truth now... you shat on her umbrella, didn't you?

Well if she's all you'd ever want, the kind you'd like to flaunt and take to dinner.
Well if she always knows her place, she's got style, she's got grace, she's a winner.

Manners is by far the most lady like characteristic there is.

Best reply ever. No, she compared her superior golf umbrella to my little one.

Couldn't let that go.

A posh mate of mine and his posh friend once criticized the way I held my glass when drinking. Apparently, they liked to extend their little finger away from the glass, and boasted that this was "the sign of a good upbringing". However, I lost count of the amount of times I chastised this friend for barging through doorways, not holding doors open for others etc. Moral of the story? Posh people confuse snobbery with a good upbringing. Being nice costs nothing.

You "chastised" your friends? In which century did that happen?

well I dont know about posh but what I dont like about ireland is that a lot of people think that class and money go hand in hand. I dont regard people born into money classy. To me class would be most likely found in a person coming from a unprivileged background and educating him or her self and ending up in a different social enviroment. People who get everything handed to them from birth are some of the most unclassy people I know.

I do that.:o (The little finger thing)

I just always assumed it was because I was a latent homosexual. No excuse for barging or not holding doors open though.
The only excuse for barging is when you're eleven miles from home and you don't have the taxi fare.
Then you put your head down and start barging.
I usually start trying to put my front door key into the lock about three miles out.:(

Exactly posh and class are totally different. Snobbery of this kind is something posh people do in an attempt to distinguish themselves from other people. In essence their trying to convince themselves that the money they have often inadvertently found themselves in possesion of comes with free class.

The richest man I know is a spoiled brat who threw tantrums attacks friends and stole money from charity under the guise of a rigged table quiz. I have made great pains to avoid this person so I am not tempted to knock him out!
