 Topic: Sailing is for posh peoplePosted: 18 Nov 13 at 1:06pm |
If Hitler sailed a dinghy it would be Musto Skiff. It's designed by a German. It works well on German Lakes. It appeals to the youth and like a 49erFX, looks good being sailed with long, flowing golden locks. Its powerful, and can be quite elegant and charming to the poor plebs of dinghydom looking for something different. It has relaxed rules about advertising therefore he could swastika that little baby up, Himmler could get his SS logo down that kite no trouble and as for Goebbals spinning something anti-Semitic, well, he could probably find an angle- like hosting all events on the Sabbath or something. If Mussolini sailed a dinghy it would be the RS100. Edited by yellowwelly - 18 Nov 13 at 1:09pm |

Oh.....so the poor worker should get 2 jobs (and wash more) and us baby boomers have exploited the system are wrong as well. As I sit in my kitchen I can see the Peak District landscape out of my window, not a house in sight, just sheep. My Aga, owned for almost 40 years is warming my bum. Just trying to annoy you now. I will go and shoot a rambler, for sport, not 'posh' sport, just sport.

Did Hitler own a motorhome? He certainly wasn't posh, so I doubt he sailed.

no, he should if he wants a motorhome and isn't prepared to cut back on other things to to get it. Or he could take some cheap finance while interest rates are low. Whether he defines it to an 'in crowd' is up to him. I'd suggest living his own life, in every possible way, would be a more rewarding experience for him and his kids.

let's not ruin the stereotype Al...
Of course today's new parents could decide not to buy a house and rent instead. That way they are not helping to fund the baby boomers who have seen the most monumental capital gain windfall in modern economic history through the housing market. They would also not be nudged into the 3% (or even 4%) in stamp duty- which is helping to significantly reduce the liabilities of a previous feckless, war mongering Government that, in all likelihood, they didn't vote for either.

So Mr B & Q should take a second job so that he can mix with the 'in' crowd. Really? Let's face it Dinghy sailing and dinghy sailors are nice, safe, comfortable people. You meet a nice class of people sailing who incline towards 'posh' when supporting youth. But it is a middle class hobby, a 'posh' hobby? Certainly perceived as such by society. This has nothing to do with real cost, if you avoid the motorhome, it costs more for the boy to play hockey than sail and the boats we own, some of which have been very successful, cost very little. It makes me sad that sailing is seen as exclusive but it certainly is. Exclusive = posh, perhaps.
