How Posh Are You?

[carly83]

Id' add swoons at firemen to that list.

 

i married a fireman, there over rated imo lol but shhh dont tell the hubby as he thinks his gods gift :hihi:

[carly83]

i was brought up down south by a sheffielder,

it was always breakfast/lunch/dinner

and then when we were in sheffield it would be breakfast/luch/dinner/supper supper always being something alng the lines of a cup of tea and a toasted teacake or breadcake, biscuits, crackers. i think the rule was anything that takes less than 5 mins to prepare lol

 

been living up north nearly 10 years now and its breakfast-lunch-dinner for me still supper still being a late night snack, tea to me will always just be a drink

According to this article, you are posh if you do the following:

 

Shop at Waitrose.

Say "supper" instead of "dinner".

Own an Aga.

Employ a cleaner.

Have an interest in horses or sailing.

 

So, are you posh?

I am not a posh.. NO No..

Knowing what prosecco is makes you posh???? In whose world? Or Houmous???? Everyone eats that - you can buy it anywhere, and appears in shop bought sarnies across the country...

 

Perhaps it's a bit out of date? Mind you, I remember KwikSave selling houmous... Not prosecco though, just asti spumante!!!

All I can say is the only thing that stops me doing all of the things mentioned in the article is a lack of spare cash.

Having is a cleaner is just a luxury I cant afford.

Again I would shop at Waitrose but having 2 hungry teenagers means I can only afford Aldi.

I do like and do eat Houmus though and do have a box of Earl Grey in my cupboard.

Maybe Ill get to go to the opera when I retire or when the teenagers leave home!

I associate "more tea, vicar" with a faux gentility; that is, with folk who are not as refaynd as what you and I are.

Perhaps. Miss Marple would serve scons and Earl Grey on the vicarage lawn. Hyacinth Bouquet would sit a gold paper doily underneath her scon, and would drink the insipid concoction with a rigid little finger protruding from the teenily impractical china cup handle. There's the difference.

I'm not posh, but I have some very high standards..nothing less will do..and why should it?

 

I've always said " I have champagne taste, but lemonade money"

 

I dont have a cleaner, but will pay for my ironing doing because I HATE IT!!!:hihi:

[Tipex]

None! i must be a scrubber.

[slimsid2000]

These are not the only measures of poshness. There is also wearing a Burberry baseball cap, living on The Manor, smoking fags in a non smoking area, drinking strong lager, owning a pit bull and supporting Ing-er-land down the local on match days.

Good for you

 

I've married a northerener and even after 8yrs together we still get muddled up because he insists on saying the wrong words for different meals

 

"Breakfast, dinner, tea" my ar5e! Who drinks tea instead of an evening meal?? Idiots!

 

I say breakfast, dinner and tea, cos thats what it is . A woman i know and her kids say breakfast lunch, dinner, but there from scotland.
