Check out this posh with his la-di-dah designer label "George at Asda" pants.

Five for a pound at the market too good for you eh?

In a totally unrelated matter, are you extremely rich?

A lot of the posts on this thread are indicative of some of the less attractive traits on PH: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Indeed the instant dislike of someone new who dares to oppose the majority view on here, backed up by the usual suspects.
Yes, I felt sorry for the OP - some of the posts were at best condescending, at worst bullying.
I thought it was because he/she was only posting about brexit so people assumed it was someone using PHs for political campaigning purposes. Rather than people being unpleasant because he/she was new.

It seems a bit odd to join PHs and just post about the EU doesn't it? We normally get this when approaching an election and people sign up just to post about how great their leader is.

What's worse is claiming any car that you can't afford is just a waste of money. It happens all the time, Mondeo man saying German cars are no better. It's such a boring argument that I cannot stand.

Never have I seen someone agree with that who's actually owned both.

Well I have two Mondeos, there are loads of cars I can't afford but I would never say they are a waste of money.
Sounds like such people are displaying symptoms of envy and jealousy.

Incidentally no car is a waste of money if it's the right car for that person.

When people claim that others are envious or jealous. It misunderstands the problem the person has, and the one claiming the other is either envious or jealous hasnt thought further, just jumped to a conclusion

To use the Mondeo vs German cars argument. It could be that they dont see the value in paying the premium that German cars command because their line of acceptable value vs cost is drawn lower. Doesnt make either right or wrong

Playing the envy or jealousy card is just a backhanded way to insult someone rather than understand what their reasons are

It's also the default response on here to anyone suggesting that the gap between top pay and the average is getting too large or that maybe Amazon should pay some tax.

There is a difference between envy and jealousy I think.

I can be envious of somebody which to me is complimenting them on their choice, as opposed to jealousy which basically says I want what they have and I don't like them having it.

Well, now that PH have removed the earlier post (probably on the grounds that most users seem to find women utterly offensive;)) we both appear a bigger pair of loons than normal. biggrin

"Private Motorway" - normally used with the "I'm a " smiley.

As in:-

"I took her up to 120 leptons (on my private motorway obviously wink ) this morning - the 320d really is a beast"

I've always thought of it as:

Envy - I'd like one of those too
Jealous - I'd like the one you have and for you to not have it

But I could be wrong.
