LPPs

In the village where our children grew up, there were two sides of the tracks... except there weren’t any tracks. Unlike London, the village west end was generally considered the ‘wrong’ side of the tracks. We lived up east.

Our children learnt from our neighbours’ kids that the people living up west were the local poor people - ‘LPPs’. The children weren’t looking down on the disadvantaged, but simply explaining and excusing the LPP children’s appalling behaviour.

With a massive mortgage, school fees, London commuting costs and despite speaking the Queen’s English, little did they know who the real LPPs were!
