Berko Bubble

A phrase used in connection to the town of Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, to describe the complete isolation of it's inhabitants to the outside world. It is a town of extremes, where the rich rub shoulders with the pseudo-poor (true poverty doesn't exist here). A juxtaposition of the beauty of the chilltern landscape against the grotesque failings of human nature. But alas, the failings and flaws of this historic town go ignored, unseen, brushed under the rug, by the parochial, closed-minded natives and the bubble remains intact.

Person 2: "That's the Berko Bubble for you"

Person 1:"She's Lived in berko her whole life. She's a posh bitch, with an unjustifiable sense of entitlement who has no concept of the the trials and tribulations of real life."

Person 2: "That's the Berko Bubble for you"

Person 1:"She spends all her daddy's money on feeding her crack habit because there's nothing else to do in this town."

Person 2: "Again, the Berko Bubble for you"
