Question

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7536492.stm

Model Katie Price has hit out at the "snobs" who excluded her from a prestigious annual society polo event.

Price, also known as Jordan, says she paid £6,000 for a table at the Cartier International at Windsor, but was told she was not the type they wanted there.

Answer 1

I say that being down to the earth is the best gift possible :) i love being down to earth!  

Answer 2

In my opinion its never okay to be a snob. No ones better then another person.  

Answer 3

jordan is the queen of the chavs i wouldnt invite her to drinking session in a field let alone to a prestigious event so yes snobbery is fine

Answer 4

Definitely not acceptable, in my opinion.

I hate snobbish behaviour, there's really no need for it.  What exactly do they mean by not the type they wanted there?  They're just judging someone on how they look or what they do for a living, which is totally ridiculous.  They were selling tickets and anyone who could afford to pay that price should be allowed in, or they should have made it invitation only then they could have just invited ignorant snobs.  

Answer 5

what will god tell you

Answer 6

The organisers are hypocrites for allowing 2 streakers to run out onto the pitch then letting them return to the crowd but not letting her attend. Hope she got her money back. But sure it is acceptable to be a snob if you can afford it. Someone has to (try) to keep up standards.

But saying it is unacceptable to be a snob is inverted snobbery - which is almost as bad.

Answer 7

a question was asked of Sharron Ozbourne  (\Ozzys wife)

Sharon is it true you once sent human **** threw the mail  to some one who pissed you off

She replyed  yes i did

However it was in a Tiffanys box!

Answer 8

they should have let her in-as she says ,she is a keen and experienced horsewoman so why not? I'm sure there was a whole mix of people there anyway.

Answer 9

no, having said they did anyone see the pictures of many of the other participants, horrible to say the least.

many just looked trashy, and its not such an exclusive event as im sure it once was. Go to places like Royal Ascot, Henley Regatta and see much the same thing. Many have absolutely no idea how to dress and have no class, chic whatsoever.

Answer 10

Don't confuse snobbery with good taste

Answer 11

A lot of rich people are thieves, pushers, and murderers, or descended from same.  Why in the world would anyone want to hang around with people like that?  

Answer 12

I can't stand snobs. They're self righteous arrogance drives me up the wall. So no it's not an acceptable attitude.  

Answer 13

snobs are a strange lot, but i am with them on this one. who wants that tart souring the atmosphere?

Answer 14

Not snobbery as such.  More a question of good taste.  Bit of class and  breeding doesnt make a snob.  

Answer 15

Yes it is acceptable the royal family have hight expectatrisions of there guests at all times and the clothes and attitude of Jordon was not roght for this kind of ivent
