Re: How posh are you?
I bank with Lloyds, can trace my family back to the practitioner of James I, and back down to Camilla Parker Bowles, have owned a Range Rover back home (a proper one!), have a family crest, although it is Scottish apparently, lived on a council estate and spent most of my life telling people I lived in Surrey, when in fact, I sound more Saaaarf London! So, nope, I'm not posh, but then, I'm not common as muck either!

Re: 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?

cords are a give away for a non posh techer
Margaret may be posh but way too many non posh Margies out there
I mean, do you remember Margox/Margi Clarke? (Letter to Breznev, if you dont recognize the name)

Re: How posh are you?
How about a monogrammed full canteen of silver cutlery... and knowing what every item is for?
I have to say, I'm a bit OCD when it comes to cutlery.
Anyhow, my aunt still refers to Grandad as "Daddy"... she a bit over 50. Besides, you don't change name when you get over a certain age, so why should your reference to your parents?

Re: How posh are you?
I sometimes eat my own poo but I do have my pinky finger stuck out during this - I THINK that means I'm posh?

Re: How posh are you?
How posh? Very much so but unfortunately I am now living in a small village at the foot of the mountains where the locals are all peasants and only appreciate vulgar wealth (think Berlusconi and cronies) and not real manners.
The town Mayor goes to meetings in dirty t-shirts and Jesus sandals.

Re: How posh are you?
most of whats been said to define posh in this thread misses the point.
the so called posh largely dont consider themselves posh, they just are what they are. titled, landed, badly mannered, heavily in debt and cash poor
those that talk about it aint it
