Isn't that the golden rule?<br /><br />By the way, you'll need to change Burwood's Wikipedia description: <br /><br />Burwood is a suburb in the inner-west of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.<br /><br />Surely it should say Burwood is the dividing line marking the point at which ugg boots start to be worn by Kath and Kim clones (though perhaps you could start a new brand under the label "ugh").<br /><br />Poor things probably don't know that 'inner west' is shorthand for snobbery. Or perhaps you don't live in the inner west, and therefore have no idea it's actually where your children live. <br /><br />Anyhoo, the idea of facts that everyone seems to get except me somehow suddenly seems to be very mythical. Cultural divide? Ever tried living in the tower in Redfern? <br /><br />Prejudice about snobs is just another form of snobbery cobber.

That's the "Western Suburbs" which is some kind of great amorphous mass of ugh-boots and Cath and Kim lookalikes.<br />Those "mythical" inner city dwellers are snobs, a fact that everyone seems to get this except you.<br />By the way, there's nothing mythical about the cultural divide in sydney. Perhaps you don't live there, which is why you find it funny and absurd.Skeptoidnoreply@blogger.com
