"I think what was puzzling me was why people find them fun, or what kind of people find them fun,"

Well I wonder what kind of fun people have going to wine bars get, or cocktail parties, or why people enjoy 'Wedding Fairs', or go to Harrods, or want to lay on a beach all day long as a holiday, why people love having babies, or want to create 'alpine gardens', or go shark fishing... I've no idea why anyone would want to do anything I wouldn't find interesting. People really are the most perplexing creatures!

My boyfriend on the other hand finds it rather weird (i.e: laughs at me) that I enjoy going to sit around with Old Tom Cockles and Barnacle Bill swigging warm ale out of their personalised pewter tankards, while singing songs about incest.. :-)

Honestly though, no wonder the yanks think us lot are a bunch of snobs.
