Hello, different middle-aged man in blazer and pinstriped shirt, same repulsive air of superiority and entitlement, two bouffy-haired, Fauntleroy-style sons in tow, at the door of the Albert Hall on Saturday night, ignoring the queue of rain-blasted people waiting patiently to have their tickets checked, and striding straight to its head. Yes, you, talking loudly to the increasingly flustered but admirably principled usher about how your wife is ONE OF THE SINGERS tonight and you HAVE TO get to Box 3, then responding to their meek and very polite request that you go to the appropriate entrance for that box, or indeed the stage door, with an immediate demand to SEE THE MANAGER.
You are both bastards.

'Bastards' is too kind.
The word has asense of underlying malice that in some circumstances could be admired.
You need a word that hones in on the smallness and childishness of the target, on their unrecognised insignificance.
I'd suggest 'wankers', instead.
Miss Jones, these men are simply the failures of the public school system; thankfully offset by the occasional likes of thespy Damien Lewis, who is well known for exemplary Etonian manners.

P.S. One of the female singers is sister of an acquaintance, hope her husband was not your second offender!
