My dear fellow there is not a single thing about me which is remotely pikey.
YES I may live in the East End in a hovel and don't have two brass farthings to rub together and YES I'm from a broken home and have zero prospects in life and YES I have a liking for working-class music forms and YES I look like a medieval vagrant but upon my honour there is NOTHING pikey about me.
PS want to buy a 'Rolex' blud?

I was raised to believe that haggling or in any way discussing money was extremely poor form.

Old money frequently = no money
My family are a classic example of this.
