Not sure joy's definition of 'snob' fits but I always aspired to be better.... I grew up on a council estate with lots of Vicki Pollard's and didn't want to be like them. I've always bought the best i could afford, took me years to shop in Tesco again as it used to be so down market. Wouldn't go to a market unless it was overseas and defo wouldn't go to a car boot. BUT I HAVE NEVER EVER LOOKED DOWN ON ANYONE FOR NOT HAVING THE SAME CRITERIA AS ME!! xx

Probably. I like nice things which inevitably cost more money but I'm pragmatic about it all as well! Becx (Owns Primark and Chanel goods - lol)

I think the ultimate test to see if you're a snob or not is whether you call it 'Cordial' or 'Squash'. :-)

I'm a snob because when I make the occasional purchase in Primark, I will always put the Primark bag inside another bag (if I have one with me) before leaving the shop.
