Help in need of urgent prom transport
Me & my 2 friends are looking for some prom transport due to the fact that the arranged transport was not suitable for Monday 1st July & the prom starts at 7.Does anybody know of anyone with a posh car that would be willing to let us hire it or any close by companies that hire prom cars that doesn't cost extortionate amounts.
We are just looking for a posh car or something different to take us to prom but don't want a limo. It would be very helpful if you could post a suggestion! |

Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
.....why bother going at all.

Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
My lad for some unknown reason has decided not to go to his prom, its yet another 'Americanism' this country can do without

It means nothing in the great scheme of things...it is just an excuse for a bit of a blow out(and an expensive 'do') that many parents cannot afford. |
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Its also a case of showing off Marg, 'my dress is better than yours' and 'we have more money than you' 'our ride is posher than yours', its all a load of bull if you ask me
Olivia, no one is getting at you love, its just the whole idea of The Prom in general |
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Yes, of course it is Shaz....And like you I am not getting at Olivia, but if I were of an age to go to a Prom....I wouldn't do it......it is shallow and totally unnecessary.(just my opinion)
I would rather have some other kind of unique(to me) experience...and probably one which didn't cost so much money |
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Parents who send their children to the prom are encouraging them in my opinion to advertise the fact that they are better than others, showing off is a disgusting trate
|
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Hope you find something suitable and have a great prom Olivia! :)
|
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Don`t be put off Olivia, I have two daughters, one went one didn`t, the one that went had a great time, wasn`t a case of showing off, just an excuse to get dolled up and have a good time with her friends. And out off the two of them, the one with the regrets, is the one that didn`t go.
|
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
You can get 'dolled up' as you put it, and go out with a group of friends without it costing the earth.
Proms are an American invention brought over here to make money for commercial organisations......they are not necessary and put unwarranted expectations onto parents who often could spend the money on something of better value. |
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
It doesn`t have to cost the earth, plenty of places sell dresses second hand, and you get most of your money back when you sell it on again. You don`t have to pay for an expensive car, although in her case, there were 16 ( I think ) sharing a car, so while the car was expensive, shared between 16 it wasn`t too bad, and there were lots who turned up getting lifts from parents.
I agree about it coming from America, but it`s only taking place of the school disco`s that were around when I was at school, but on a bigger scale. Let them have their Prom, it`s a once in a lifetime thing for them, to say goodbye to a lot of their school friends. |
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
It must be an age thing for me then....I left school before schools had disco's...they were just Dances...and I couldn't dance so I didn't go to those either.

Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport

You are right.....you can't tell, and she does look beautiful(and it isn't all down to the dress - she would look beautiful in a bin bag...some girls just have that attribute). :)

Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Well prom in my opinion & many others is not a case to show off or an Americanism it's a chance to meet up with friends for the last time & have a good time.It doesn't have to cost the earth but would be nice to celebrate the day to do things in a way that is more special than normal but thank you for wishing me to have a good time & thanks for the pm!
|
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Hope yeh got sorted olivia.:)
|
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Olivia...I do hope you have a good time.
Why would it be the last time you will see your friends? Surely if you are friends than you will make time to meet up and enjoy one anothers company from time to time...Ok, so you won't see these people every day like you did when you were at school...but unless you are going to be going away to Uni - then you will still have some sort of social contact. |
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Yes of course we will but its a chance to meet formally with all of the year & teachers etc as a year and celebrate the time we had.Prom isn't just about who had the most extravagant dress at all; well it's not how we see it anyway.
|
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Never heard my daughter or any of her friends compare dresses other than in a good way - didn`t such & such look lovely, oh and wasn`t her dress nice, that kind of thing.
And while close friends will keep in touch, when they go to different colleges or do different courses, a lot will end up drifting apart. Good luck Olivia, have a great time. |
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Ye Olivia, god sake it's only one day no need for all this hassle. God sake, there's more to life, stop being a spoilt brat because you not have a posh car!
|
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Thank you very much! It's not all about looks anymore!

She's only joking- she's one of the girls that needed transport & in my opinion is showing how you thing proms portray teenagers to be/feel/act like.

No school proms in my younger days, we had a Christmas dance and had to escort a young lady from our age group to the big hall, dinner in the school dining room afterwards. There was always cabbage and mince for the main meal and prunes to follow. The strongest drink we had would be if we didn't put much milk in the tea.
Only speculation regarding dress was "No clogs". By the way, if you are still stuck for transport I could probably be able to take you in new John Deere tractor and your mates could sit in the bucket on the front, now that's different. I would power wash it first. I just managed to snap this unusual prom truck with my phone in Southport a couple of years ago. It drove up and down Lord street a few times. Anyway young lady, I hope you have a wonderful time, enjoy it, get lots of photos for your album and then get back to normal. Best of luck for the future. |
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
I feel like most of you about this subject, that it must be hard on a parent's purse, and money could be spent in a more useful way.
It is competitive, however, if I were of this age again, I know I would love it and do my best to outshine all the other girls .. :D What took me back last week was that a friend on Facebook posted a photograph of his young son at a 'Primary School' prom ! Still does live in Glasgow. :) Sorry, can't help with the transport, Olivia, but have the best night ever. |
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Thank you for your help but we have now got transport (Austin a 35)

Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Post us some pics of your great night out...and despite my criticism...have a brilliant time.(you have to remember, I am one of those B.O.B's - Batty Old Bird)

And for the ones who can`t go, it`s not unloved, just a disappointment, which is part of life, and how can we expect our kids to appreciate what they have if they`ve never experienced the disappointment of missing out. |
Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Yes 'Gremlin' it's like that

Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
It's not mine Olivia, I took the photo a few weeks ago at the Leyland car show.
I did have its bigger brother in 1962, a black Austin A40. |

it soon went on things like sports'y disco on fridays i think it was and bits for my mongoose bmx or commodore 64 accessories and games lol i doubt that even a child with good intentions and a parttime job could afford the expense of a promm do we really want to be like america i think some head of year somehwere saw a few too many american trash promm movies when they were younger and thought it a good idea to start this off.Wont be long before we have parents dressing 8 year olds up as 20 year olds and sticking them infront of teh world on tv to be judged how pretty they are :rolleyes: |

Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
Go and enjoy yourself, you're only young once, from some of the postings I get the impression that they are jealous and would prefer you to wear clogs asa well, I wonder what they wore ion their younger days or perhaps they cannot remember.

Re: Help in need of urgent prom transport
no ones said dont enjoy herself but people have said how pathetic and unwarranted the whole charade is just so our schools can be just like america
you may see it as been jelous im just glad they wernt around 20 years ago because my mum wouldnt have been able to afford it.Its just another shower of crap that serves no purpous but to put financial burden on those that cant afford it just so that their kids dont feel left out or looked down upon by others for not been able to afford it, infact if i recall i put i hope she enjoys herself one thing for sure is i have 1 kid left in school and hes been told from day one the day he walks into secondary school that promms aint happening for him he can have a xbox game instead or a new bike or whatever he wants within reason as long as it isnt urined away on a school disco thats got way out of hand |

£10 is a fortune if you haven't got it. Somehow it conveys the wrong message to youngsters. 'have what you want - pay for it next week, sometime, never' I'm glad things like this did not exist in my day......I could never have afforded to do it, and would never expect my parents to pay for it. |

I never said I wasn't asked...which you inferred...just that I didn't see the reason to go.....not being able to dance, would make it a pointless exercise. |
