Hello
It's the movie "What we did on our vacations".
Granddad is talking to her niece about her dad and her uncle,
"I mean, so what if your dad is a complete and utter bloody shambles?
Or your Uncle Gavin's a bit of a tight-arse?
All that social climbing! He can't help himself."
Now, there are two explanations for "tight-arse".
"inhibited person" and "miser".
But I can't relate any of this entirely with the following "all that social climbing".
So, some social climber has to be inhibited or miser?
I would be attempted to say "inhibited" but I miss his idea here.
Any idea?
Thank you
