How posh are you?
Having discovered Ethos is practically royalty just wondering how many other posh people there are on here?
And what makes someone posh? So here is a posh test (I have a bit of time to kill).
Do you have a regional accent?
Do you bank with Llyods?
Have you ever lived on a council estate?
Have you ever slept in bunkbeds (in your own house)?
Have you ever eaten ham eggs and chips on a Saturday?
Did you own a pair of wellies before they became fashionable but you don't work on a farm?
Do you know anyone called Tarquin, Chester, Fabian or Margaret?
Do you still call your mum and dad Mummy and Daddy?
Do you own a pair of cords?
Do your dogs sleep in the kitchen by the aga or on the bed with you?
Any other good tell tell signs of being posh or not as the case may be?

Re: How posh are you?
Do you prefer your fish and chips wrapped in newspaper?
Does your eldest son go to Eton or Harrow?
Do you prefer football or rugby?
Have you ever bowled a googly?
Enough for starters...

Have you ever owned a landrover (esp in UK)?
Do you hunt/shoot?
Do you ride?
Have you inherited quality furniture?
Do you say loo in place of toilet and napkin instead of serviette?
I wouldn't say I am posh, but I do sound as if I spent much of my childhood at the Pony Club...
