Prom limo no show

Can't believe the OP is such a cheapskate. It's a helicopter or nothing around our way!

a much classier entrance would be in a friend's sports car or classic car or something, rather than a chavvy limo.

Dropped my daughter and her friends off at her Prom recently.

There were some people being dropped off in American Limos.

Red Dodge Charger, Red 300C (complete with dent down to the paint on one side) and a couple of those ancient white ones with the chrome wheel arches.

I had a mate help out in his car so my daughter and her friends were dropped off together in two almost identical current shape Jaguar XJLs.

When taking photos people actually asked if the could take photos with the Jags in the background.

Class isn't something you get from spending lots of ££.

Isn't that part of being a parent though?

I don't suppose you paid by credit card? If you did, you might try a S75 claim.

At least they were all saved from the most embarrassingly chavtastic arrival at the prom.

Why, was it pink?

I was at a prom last week, the parents/aunties etc. wait for the limos to arrive with the cameras, so if you are first, you get to see the others then show your photos, and there is a queue of stretched tat behind waiting to drop off anyway.

The hummer got stuck in the carpark. I thought the whole point of a hummer was it would drive over a 1m wall, but apparently, a 30foot long one won't :rotfl:

I'm just boggling at £500 for a taxi ride to their school.

Same could be said for those spending £20k on a car just to take them to work and back!

Jesus so many on here are such miserable sods! The teenager wanted to experience being in a Limousine on a night that was important and special to them. Just because it's not anything special to you boring sods doesn't mean it's not to ops son, so why you feel you should berate their choice of hiring one is beyond me.

It's time we stopped importing the crasser elements of American culture -- on second thoughts, all American culture....

American culture - isn't that a contradiction in terms.

A bit like American Military Intelligence.

Of course I exclude the 'First Nation' native indigenous peoples of the North American continent from the above comments.

They do have culture - real culture - loads of it.

But of course our ex-colonist cousins treated them like sh*te - the same way they treated the buffalo.

Easy. "Children, £500 is silly money. I'm not paying."

As others have said, I don't fancy your chances of getting your money back. If you paid by credit card it might help.

Everything bad comes from America. Trick or treat, sleepovers, proms, I don't know why some of us let ourselves be influenced to adopt this sh*te.
