Reread my post will you? I referred to your last few words which did not make sense.

Yep, you mentioned uni, but i didn't.

I don't follow your thought processes in this thread either.

Posh is posh, you don't lose poshness through being poor, you could if you wanted to, the same way you could learn to be posh if you wanted to do so. Most of us learn new behaviours to fit in, some more than others and some do it deliberately.

It isn't any better or worse to be a posh geezer, it's just a way of being

Are there degrees of poshness? Can one be a bit posh but not completely posh or is it just a discrete concept, where one is or one is not.

Which is a rather limited description of the type of schools in the UK.

However linking back to the original quiz instead of my post replying to Oink's question is rather odd.

Awfully posh?

bollocks

bollocks again


do you do that, if so, how hard do you try to elevate yourself outside of your non-posh comfort zone?

Before you turn it back on me - I don't give a flying crap about posh anything or folks who are or that get elevated (put on pedestals) to the appearance of posh annoyance - poor & disadvantaged is the new posh

Frightfully posh.

I think you're confusing posh with chic.

Boo. Like Boris Johnson?

Yes, or Alexander McCall Smith.

that's all BS

Or was you meaning 'in the eyes of the beholder' or in trying to fool the unlikely unknown?

Take two families that lived next door to each other on a council estate in the UK, both move to Canada ending up on the same street across from each other.

The adult male in family 'A' works in an automotive plant putting bits on cars as they roll down the assembly line. The male in family 'B' re-educates is now a lawyer. The street refers to the two families as nice but Mr Lawyer is elevated to a status of unbound awe.

The lads get together regularly for a beer & a hockey game while the wives go on about posh comparisons with Mr Lawyer going on to his mate about the new car, clothes he wears, holidays & the toys that he & his kids have.

Could this status be posh?

chic & chav sort of rhyme

Of course not. "lawyer" is a trade.

see, it only goes to show, nowt posh about me

And is usually a ****.

Are you saying Honey Boo Boo is Posh, or that Boris Johnson is like Honey Boo Boo

All I know is that Posh is "Pants"

Beckham eastend boy, will he ever be "posh" with all his money? I doubt it
