How can you tell if you're a snob?

[Drago]

Real life snob, no. Drive old cars or a van.

But then real aristocrats are usually skint and drive old knackers too because the cost of maintaining the ancestral pile is eye watering.

I am actually a lord. I own a square foot of land near Windemere that comes with the ancient title Lord of the Manor.

How much can it possibly cost for cream to treat your ancestral piles?

To be fair that is grace and good manners, as well as good taste, rather than snobbishness

Apologies, wasn't referring to the main thrust of the thread, just the side discussion re McDonalds and elderly relatives.

 

[Drago]

I've never been to a MacDonalds. Ever!
Does that make me a snob? Good.

It makes you healthy.

I really don't know why commoners love that filth so much? Must be laced with crack cocaine or something.

I would use worn out 30 year old Campagnolo Zenon before I lowered myself to that stuff.

Oof. At least Shimano works properly.

I'm a snob. It's Acera, Sun Race and Alivio for me. I look down on people who need Dura Ace to feel good about themselves.

Penny pinching snob, that's me.

Pfftt, a Y - Shaped monstrosity out if the nearest skip for me, bah humbug!

Carbon fibre is ridden by riff-raff and brings me out in hives. Not only do I not own a road bike with disc brakes, I refrain from interacting with the chavs who do.

And yet, here you are...

I thought so much better of you. Now blocked, pleb.

Call me a snob but I just prefer the ambience at Greggs to that of McDonalds.

Yes - many of us call you That (I never could spell!)
