i dont think using the words "well brought up" is right in describing. just because someone was brought up with not a lot of money and did not get everything they wanted does not mean they were not brought up well. [/b]”
For goodness sake no one is equsting being well brought up with the family income. I think you'll find people think of Alex as well brought up as he displays vertain manners and respect towards other people which is totally irrelevant of his parent's bank balance.
It costs no money to teach any child the basic of table manners for instance. Some of the best mannered people I have ever met have come from the roughest council estates the country has to offer, equally some of the rudest and most ill-mannered people I have met have come from the upper classes.
I think its laughable when Jonny gets so uptight that Alex 'tolerates' him. Surely toleration is one of the staples of an accepting and to a degree peaceful society.
If people don't like Tim because of the <I> way </I> he behaves fair enough but those who are rude simply because of his accent are no more than inverted snobs little better than the people who are disrespectful to those who they think are 'common'.
