How very dare you!!

[Carol Anne]

I hadn't heard this said in years 'til I saw it on a comedy programme being used by one of the characters in the Carherine Tate show.I had a pompous fat great aunt when I was a child who used to say it often, especially to people she looked down her nose upon. I often remember being dragged along to 'coffee mornings' where she would recant to her genteel chums the remonstrations of the day before with the grocer : 'And I told him, I said ,how dare you, how VERYdare you I said, blah blah blah. Silly old cow!

Your point being??
Many threads on Answerbank are posted in the form of an observation or a recollection, thereby creating an opening those with similar experiences to contribute. We are not a striclly 'What is' 'How are' or 'Why do' question and answer platform. Nor, as my old aunt would have said, is it funny to be a clever cloggs. :-)

I enjoyed your post Carol Anne, i too had an aunt who always said the very same thing, she once said it to a man at the door who asked her to vote Labour in the local council elections, his face was a picture., i agree with you, i wish people would stop trying to be clever when they obviously are not,
