Social snobbery alive and well

To be honest the biggest surprise here is that snobby pin-striped City gents still exist.

I work in the City - sort of - and I don't see any gents, just gobby wide boys in suits.  It's like TOWIE except they actually have jobs.

That's traders, corporate finance and the other posh departments don't behave like that.

I'd have shit in his bowler hat and popped it back on his head.

Ahhhhhh Napolean complex.

Except I'm 6' in my bare feet....

It's a complex...it doesn't have to be rational.

Early morning train today into London. I get onto the first big commuter train of the day.

I am inspecting on site today so have dirty boots and hard hat tucked under my arm.

However, as a sophisticated type, I have a first class ticket (ok, it's my business so it bought me one ) 

I get a few sneery looks on the platform standing in the first class section next to the pin striped city gents. As I get on, one of them tuts loudly, and comments to his fellow city boy chum that they let anyone into first class these days.

Naturally, I had a good cough, turned round and said "wanker".

What are you? one of The Bottom Inspectors? you want a look at this bad boy?

I'm inspecting and signing off the services and technology at the new temporary building done for the school at the bottom of Grenfell Tower.

Very good but I kinda wished you had been a bottom inspector.

And is inspecting bottoms all part of your duties?

I got the train between Taunton and Bristol a couple of weeks back and it was a nice surprise to find my ticket was first class. There was a dog in the saloon though, so they really do let riff raff on.

They'll let anyone in those places nowadays.

It always amazes me that people have that reaction.  I mean why does it matter what other people who you don't know think, say or do? If it was me I'd just be smug that I'm not him.

I take it the dog wasn't Kennel Club?

Napoleon wasn't actually short, you know.

He was 5' 6" which given I'm 6' 2" makes him a short arsed Frenchie ... :-)

@holnrew your use of the word 'saloon' should entitle you to lots more first-class travel.

Take no shit from anyone

LOL at the knobheads commenting on how they would have thumped someone. Way to go to get yourself a conviction for assault. In real life that hardly ever happens. From the comments here, it sounds as if you're all a bunch of psychos when really you would have just sucked it up and pretended you didn't hear.

I only commented because I felt empowered by my steel toe caps, muddy boots, and ability to utilise my hard hat for defence.

However, when I turned round I realised that they were mortified I'd heard. My impolite quip was met with a wince and a look that said "please don't smack me with your hard hat".

I'd find that more satisfying
