Snooty

Whatever next?

Mrs Allinson-Cooke, who wants the van moved from outside her shop to an out-of-town car park, claimed that photographic "evidence" suggested 90% of people using it lived in local authority housing.

Other users, she claimed, were contractors and labourers, who wore bright fluorescent jackets.

I bet she gets a few "visits " now - what a stupid thing to say.

I think that we should organise a trip up there, all dressed like builders and other "undesirables"

I just think that it's funny that people have that attitude.

There must be a demand for it. I seriously doubt that the "high-class" cafes there, cater for the workmen there.

What a snob, I may have had sympathy with her regarding having a fish and chip van outside her shop, but saying †œphotographic "evidence" suggested 90% of people using it lived in local authority housing.ââ‚à ƒâ€šÃ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ÂÂ� Just proves sheââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s a snob and needs to move her business to a town that has stricter control on street traders if she does not want a chip van outside.

So that does not include plumbers then

Frinton on Sea perhaps? But even Frinton is deteriorating

Ah, yes, Frinton where ice cream vans and other undesirable trades are banned. Which reminds me of the that old chestnut; underneath the road sign saying "Harwich for the Continent" someone has scrawled "Frinton for the incontinent".

Thats right
Though the Frintonites have been forced to allow a pub and I believe a chip van to operate inside the gates

Her name isn't Hermione Bucket by any chance?

My mother in law is %100 exactly like Mrs Bucket. The similarity is scary sometimes. Even Buxom Woman agrees with me.

Does anybody know of a place where i can setup a mobile burger bar.???

I might even do a Chav special to attract the right kind of customers to the area. A Burberry Burger what do u think.??

I'd agree that Corbridge is a very attractive little town. The annual Northumberland County Fair is held there and is well worth a visit if you're ever in that part of the world at the right time. But not if it's pouring down; you'll spend all your time up to your eyeballs in mud!

I'm not sure if Corbridge comes under Hexham (another town worth a visit) for its parliamentary constituency, but Hexham was (probably still is) a Tory island in a Labour sea. Geoffrey Rippon used to be the MP.
