I always find it interesting that people like this get looked down on, god forbid people get their teeth done and enjoy eating at restaurants in this godforsaken country

@mindofprospect They have the cheap veneers, they have the david Wilson new build, they have the range/audi/BMW on hp, they choose Miller and carter and call it a restaurant, they think Costa does the best coffee in the world. They consume more TV than our parents did in the 80s. They are slop

@WebBuildingFrog @mindofprospect So what restaurant would you go to then? What coffee shop would you drink in? What house and car would you buy? You seem to be sounding out a whole load of stuck up pompous shit on here without actually giving your opinion on what you consider “acceptable”. You’re just a snob

@Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect Restaurant - mom and pops or high end Coffee - mom and pop House - rural village house Car, similar but I'd actually buy it rather than do hp Never said it was unacceptable either. Do better.

@WebBuildingFrog @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect "Mom and pop"? In the UK

@ember__blue @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect Yeah mate, mom and pop. You wouldn't say mom and dad shop would you

@WebBuildingFrog @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect I wouldn't say either, I'd say local shop or family business because I'm not a yank.

@ember__blue @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect Family business, thank you that's what I was looking for. Please forgive my poor language. Before I got out to somewhere nice, I grew up in briningham. It's like having a disability that only affected language skills

@WebBuildingFrog @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect I'm from Teesside and I managed lol. Unlike you I don't have contempt for the people I grew up with and I don't think poverty is an individual moral failing. Because I'm not a yank.

@ember__blue @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect I find people from the north east generally tend to be well spoken and we'll read. It's not the case in brum. As for moral failing, no it's lack of action. I know this because I've been on both sides.

@WebBuildingFrog @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect Trust me, that's not true in Boro. There's resentment towards education that has its roots in the old secondary modern schools. And you do have a hyper-individualist bootstrap attitude when you should be looking at structural problems.

@WebBuildingFrog @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect I "got out" too but it's because my mother encouraged me and wanted me to have the education she never got. Not everyone has that. I'm lucky, I'm not better than the people I grew up with.

@ember__blue @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect Ah but on a basic level, you did things to make getting out a possibility then when the opportunity you creat d came, you took it. Right?

@WebBuildingFrog @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect I had encouragement and support, a good school and a parent who pushed me. I was a teenager when I made these decisions, I didn't make them in a vacuum.

@WebBuildingFrog @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect Social media makes it even harder for kids now to see past influencers, if they were handed a tablet from a young age and have never known anything else

@ember__blue @Don_Falcone2 @mindofprospect Preaching to the choir mate.
