I know there are some classical music enthusiasts round here & I know a large portion are of the snobby variety - hell I go to Bacup & Rawtenstall Grammar....it's murder being an Accy lad around there I tells thee...
...which perhaps suggests that Accy is viewed as a dumb/thick/stupid town to 'outsiders'?
