When I was there the addresses were xxx Ballybeg Whatever Cork Road Waterford. If you said "The Cork Road" it typically meant the Cork Road Estate.

Who's the music-teacher snob, lots of them in Waterford. Does he realise a guy who grey up in Ballybeg went on to write music books for the Leaving Cert.

The majority of people in Ballybeg are sound, its just a few families that give the bad name. I find it more amusing that places like Comeragh Green consider themselves middle class just because there are a few snots living there. I have a mate from there and his neighbour is always talking about how to "increase" the tone of the area as if it were Kings Channel and not the top of the town! That sadly happens a lot when 2 or 3 households get notions about themselves and start to project that mindset on to new and old neighbours.

A snob in Waterford is like a someone playing three guitar chords and calling themselves a musician.

Just curious lad, why do you bother with the Waterford forum, never once saw you post anything constructive.

Did some blaa steal you wife, lack or lunch money ?

People in county Waterford can be quite snobby to the city. Found it funny that people in the county decided it was the whole of county Waterford was voted best place to live in Ireland by the Irish Times. When in fact it was just Waterford city.

I know a few people who think their **** don't stink. They're all fooking idiots. Notions lads, notions.

I grew up on a council estate for a good number of years before my folks moved to a private estate. Having lived in a council estate and different private estates there are noticable differences like with a lot of things with pros and cons. I found on the council estate I lived there is more of sense of community everyone knows each more so compared to private estates I lived in where I found most people just really keep to themselves and know the nearby neighbour to say hello to at best. One big con about the council estate anti social behaviour a lot of it yes I know from lived experience most people living In the council estate were grand and only a small percentage causing trouble the thing is then and now there is no process or Avenue to remove and evict troublesome people from council estates and the area is unfortunately stuck with them vs non exist anti social behaviour on private estates I've lived. If I was to pick an area to live for raising a family from lived experience I'd pick a private estate yes there mightnt be a great sense of community but I'd pick an area for peace and quiet over somewhere with a lot of anti social behaviour anyday.

Grew up on council estate as well, would agree 100% with your sentiments re neighbours & spirit, I knew everybody on the street and surrounds, living in a different area now, don't know too many here a good few years, have also experienced anti social behaviour as well.

Its not exclusive to council estates far from it and neither is the attitude my boy wouldn't do that !

Come across some right W*****s parents and offspring.

In the WIT music department they'd call you a musician.

Rustyman101 · 06-02-2022 12:24pm

Well kid , I know what they would call you around here ! As regards WIT, considering your level of trolling and general commentary here l doubt you ever set foot in a 3rd level institute. Won't be engaging with you again on the basis of a tried and tested fact.

" Don't argue with an idiot they will bring you to their level and beat you with experience" goodbye....

He hit your stuff good and proper there.

How could you be a snob coming from Waterford?

You live in Waterford?😂

Up around Hillview/Freshways must be the clique-iest part of the county.

Unless you're a native you'd be lucky to get a grunt off the locals.

Do you experience much snobbery in Waterford?
