I'd say.


Not very

Occasionally I can pass myself off as a posho though.


It's relative

I don't think I'm posh in any way, shape or form but compared to some people I'm like Lord Snooty


I have to make a concerted effort

to pronounce 'water' correctly


If that makes you happy

you should hear me talk about butter


ere yoth!

Y'wanna purra shot on them show-ders or yull get bont!


I ride around in a gold carriage

and gob on poor people.


*Carrion


Missed me this morning though didn' ya 'colonol'?!

We got yer number now you slag!


not at all

but I can interact with posh people when I have to without them thinking I'm a scobe


I come across

as a bit of a toff but really my life standards are dirt low. And I'm quite scruffy.


I get accussed of it all the time...

...simply because I say I'm from Oxford. I don't even have a snotty accent either, just a banal run of the mill southern diluted-London accent. People seem to think our streets are paved with gold in O-Town.


I have eight surnames

One of which is made from crushed faberge eggs.


:D


I traverse the streets of london

in an edwardian carriage, pulled by diamond-encrusted peacocks.

I will doff my golden top-hat at all the ladies who deserve my attention.


My dad

recently bought a yacht.


I own a gun.


proper posh

geez


It depends on two main factors

Who I am talking to and whether I stick my little finger out when I drink my tea.

I was called posh last night for wanting Early Grey instead of inductrial builder tea at our work Christmas party.


I've got GCSEs and everything.

Apparantly that makes me a bona fide toff.


Like Wayne Rooney

how dare he take 2 GCSE's?! Too much money these footballers. Think they are better than us, the sun reading public.


i get told

i speak posh by people here in hull. but down south no fucker can even understand what i'm saying.


I apologise

for people like me. I can hardly understand what people with the same accent as me are saying.


pardon?


Exactly.

I would have said "WOT!?"


actually

Properly posh people don't say pardon, they say 'whet?!'.


don't worry about it

sometimes i can barely understand myself - my accent is slowly devolving into one big glottal stop.


i sound very posh indeed sometimes when i talk

but i'm not seriously moneyed, so i suppose it depends on your definition of the word.


^^


I don't think money has

that much to do with it


i sound posher than i am

i was just raised well


I've just shit myself

how uncouth


My friend had gout,

but he is an irish builder.

He likes the high living too much (ie bacon and Guinness).


fairly posh

same school as hugh grant don't you know.

^^^this is all i need to pull stateside.


depends on the context

Im all about the fakery.


I remember someone commenting years ago.....

that the poor live on estates, the gentry own estates and everyone else drives an estate.

The thing is, most of the gentry are skint now, poverty is relative and It takes me 45 minutes to drive across Bournemouth because everyone has bought a Toyota fucking Landcruiser to negotiate those treacherous curbs outside Waitrose!


I just use the easy and I'm sure not very popular criteria

Of did you go to a private school?

Therefore, I'm not posh. I'd probably fail on every other possible criteria too, but I think sometimes I speak quite 'posh' for the area. But then I go southwards and I get too scared to speak.


I'm so posh

I only go to the toilet once a decade. When I do, the excrement is so compacted it has turned into a diamond.

I shit posh me.


I am not posh at all.

Sometimes I wish I was. But often I'm just glad I'm not.


I consider myself to be middle middle middle class

but my Mum is a very well spoken old school English teacher so I think I probably sound a bit posher than I should.


I went to london

and went to La caprice for a meal and stayed in the Lanesborough. I'm vehy vehy posh.
