The whole idea of "gentrification" is a bizarre one. I have yet to see someone with a starched collar and coat walking the streets with a cane going "ra ra, ya ya". If you mean people who work hard, earn money and can afford to buy a chi tea latte then possibly. Why would people dislike this? Does an area that is becoming more affluent (not gentrified, what a stupid expression) upset people so much. So people then open shops to offer chi tea lattes, what is the issue? Cereal shop, so what. If you dont like it dont go in. Only a complete Richard Head would want to deface it or chuck a brick through the window. Should we invite a few Sloane Rangers to deface the local chippie or chuck bricks through the local cafe window as an antithesis?

People, get over yourselves. Rich, poor or somewhere in between, just have fun and be decent people.
