You were onto a winner til you mentioned......Docs

Raymon Weil and Double cuff..seriously? 80s called, they want their goods back.

It's all Marc Jacobs now, and single cuffs..checkout Matthew McCaunaughey on the cover of the latest GQ mag

Re: How posh are you?
 

I have none of that but still scored 35%. Which is wrong because you are surely way posher than me. (But not nearly as posh as that Oakvillian chap...)

Re: How posh are you?
 

So "Posh = Stupid" then....buying a 4 grand watch that does the same job as the $20 one?

Re: How posh are you?
 

Spend a lot of time looking at men in glossy mags, do you?

Re: How posh are you?
 

I very rarely buy watches. They have been gifts from girlfriends/wives. Good watches last a long time.

The pocket watch was an exception. I had a longing for one and I had a very clear idea of what I wanted. One came along and I bought it (and not for four grand!).

Re: How posh are you?
 

Marc Jacobs? Arriviste!

You are mistaking fashion for style. Easy mistake. A gentleman wears French cuffs in the city, but will probably be wearing a Tattersall check shirt with button cuffs under his sportsjacket when dressed down. For really grubby jobs, maybe an old rugby or polo jersey...

Proper posh people don't read magazines, except possibly a subscription to Country Life and, of course, the Racing Post, to which they will have switched grudginly since Sporting Life stopped being about horses. They certainly won't have looked at Gentlemen's Quarterly since it stopped being quarterly and stopped being about gentlemen.

Matthew McConaughey is not posh. He is American.

:o I do seem to have scored quite a lot of points. But the quiz was dreadfully badly done.

Re: How posh are you?
 

And there's me thinking Burton's was posh. :confused:

Re: How posh are you?
 

Is there even a concept of "posh" outside Britain?

Re: How posh are you?
 

That's what I was getting at in my last sentence. Foreigners can't be posh. They can be rich, famous, possibly both, but posh? They probably try to spread their marmalade with the butter knife, for heaven's sake.

In Scotland?

Re: How posh are you?
 

Yep. Called BCBG in France, bon ton, bon genre. In the USA it's "preppy". In Canada i've heard it called "old money"

Re: How posh are you?
 

Oh dear....

It's "beau cadre, bon gout" or "bon chic bon genre".

Re: How posh are you?
 

I knew that, why the chuff did i type ton? Duh, idiotsville pour moi.

Re: How posh are you?
 

Easily done.

I wish I hadn't chucked my Halloween edition of Private Eye. There was a cartoon in it that reduced me to tears of laughter (which is not something that happens often).

Anyone still got a copy of the PE issue? I'd love to get that cartoon.
