‘Snobby’ note from joyless resident reminds neighbour they live in posh area now

A snooty resident has been branded a snob after reminding their new neighbour that they now reside somewhere posh - and not in their old area any longer. The unhappy person wrote the letter to complain about the “disgusting language” they had heard over the weekend.

The note was posted anonymously to the household in Kingswood, Hull. Writing to their neighbour, the person was very keen to point out that they “are now on Kingswood, one of the best places to live - not Preston Road!”

The receiver then shared the letter in a Kingswood community Facebook group, according to HullLive. The post reads: “Come home to this letter posted anonymously with a stamp, what a lovely community. Anyone want to own up?”

The post seems to have divided people living in Kingswood, with one resident branding the anonymous neighbour “an absolute snob” and another saying people should be able to do and say what they want in their own property.

Some took offence to the slight at the 'worse' area, with one saying: “What’s wrong with Preston Road? I lived there when I was younger (snobs).”

Another said: “Some sad sad folk, it’s Kingswood not Buckingham Palace. And FYI nothing wrong with Preston Road, maybe if they grew up in a community like that they wouldn’t be posting anonymous letters. SAD.”

Another resident was in agreement and said: “Won’t be allowed to f**t next. Never knew Kingswood was as posh as Buckingham Palace. Whoever wrote the letter needs to get a grip.”

But not everyone sided with the newcomer, report Mirror Online. Some residents were in agreement with the letter writer.

One person posted on the community group: “Maybe mindful about your language, not everyone appreciates hearing it.”

Another said: “Don’t agree with anonymous letter at all... however if it was my neighbours I would just politely ask them to watch their language (if loud and outside) as I have a young child that I wouldn’t want hearing it.”
