Baboonery, it is probably absurd to single our Roz's post for the snobbery that does characterise this forum. For the same reason it was also possibly unfair, but the post was overt and hostile enough to wind me up into posting. I recall the Bird in Hand thread was the last time. But are you saying my criticism was absurd because Roz's post was tongue in cheek? Utterly irrelevant. If that's what you're saying you demolished your own important pionts.

As Herbert's post makes clear , 'Sun readers' is just less pejorative shorthand for working class 'proles' / 'oiks' / 'chavs' or whatever. My grasp of sociology is too simple to know why, but for some reason it remains funny to write ironic posts about having to share museums with this demographic but not any more, for example, with the target readership of 'The Voice' or 'Pink Paper'.

This is supposed be a neighbourhood forum for all the folk of SE23, not the "people like us" who live in SE23. There are reasons this forum has so many members yet so few posters and I'd be surprised if the snobbery you've noticed - and of which this post was a classic example - is not among them.
