How do you define someone as being posh?

MissAdventure
Not a yacht. A barge.

madeupmyname I do tuck in my tea towel, in fact I secure it under my bra straps (boobs natural)!

JRM definitely posh, but annoyingly so. I much prefer it to be less obvious. I didn't know about Eddie Redmayne was posh until I saw him on Graham Norton.

petra in a yacht? That's posh!

Rees-Mogg

What do you suppose the next one will be called? - Elvis Ringo Kardashian Farage?

I love Canvey. We lived at the Dauntless boatyard one winter. Happy memories.

BBbevan you have nailed it.

And his sons sound even posher:
Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher
Peter Theodore Alphege
Tom Wentworth Somerset Dunstan
Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius
Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam

JRM. epitome of posh

Me?? Posh??
I was considered so as I had my parents' southern accent at school in the north-east. It didn't take too long to fit in & when yelling the name of my best friend up the lane - "His name's not Tawny like an owl, his name is Tony!"- was my mother's exasperated cry.

My GN moniker links to where I live & the nickname of a football team.
Common as muck me!

According to the test I am a ‘U’. However, I know the rules and the lingo but do and say as I like.

NotAGran555 People do seem to assume some places equal posh.

We went to view a house recently. A modest house in a non posh area. The Estate Agent seemed perplexed that we were moving from 'posh village' to the one we were viewing.

Instead of talking up the area she was saying things like 'why would you move from 'posh village' to here?' in an astonished tone of voice. It was very funny.

I don't think you're common, petra. I'm on canvey.

Ah, I'm not much of a one for tv, only snippets.

Just the same as everyone thinks that people who live in Southend (where I live) are common.

Clarissa died in 2014

WilmaKnickersfit you are posh. Read earlier post re licking plates.

Using a teatowel as a napkin also strikes me as a sensible yet mild eccentricity that could well be construed as posh. I hope you tuck it in to your neckline.

Big boobs also posh - see above re Clarissa Dickson Wright. Must be natural though.

For some strange reason it has been assumed more than once that I must be posh as my home town is Ascot .

My family still says "Thank you for having us" and I find it hard not to take a something as a little gift when I go to someone's home.

I'm definitely not posh because not only do we eat off laptrays, I even lick the plate if we have my favourite meal - and DH has sworn under pain of death to never mention it! And while I'm confessing, I use a tea towel as a napkin because I am terrible at missing my mouth (I blame it on my big boobs!)

Hmmm.. for anyone who watches gogglebox (though its probably common to watch it!) I would nominate 2 couples for 'poshness'. Steph and Dom, and Giles and Mary. They're quite different types, though.

Sitting room for us too!

Oh I know who you mean, Clarissa something? Dickson Wright. I just looked it up. Yes, she is posh.

Also, people who do a sort of reverse apology for their views saying 'sorry, I know I'm a snob', are terribly common.

Jennifer Shrager from the cookery and Marigold travel programs.
Mary Berry

The one 'fat lady' that is still around. I don't know her name.

Re drinking from the saucer, my mum used to do that when her tea had spilled over onto the saucer on the long journey from the kitchen quarters along corridors past the morning room / library / sitting room / drawing room / ballroom (I'm joking) to the day room.

Benedict. That's posh in itself!
Steven Fry
Joanna Lumley (well she sounds posh)

Struggling a bit now...
