I shop at John Lewis, Waitrose but the giddy limit is buying eggs from an egg farm.

She is almost 13 and an authority on most things.

Haha, tho she isn’t all that wrong, it doesn’t denote great wealth or an aristocratic background but it does take money to shop at those places on a regular basis.

I shop in those places too and I would buy my eggs from the farm down the lane only I don't eat eggs.
Does that make me posh?

Oh dear I think we are doomed kittylester

I can add M & S Food Hall and local farm shop 😹

(Best not to talk about clothes, footwear or handbags)

I would say she’s got it sorted I ve never been in Waitrose or John Lewis and there’s no farms near here 🤣so I m definitely in the lower end of humans 🤣

I think you’re out of touch - it’s all about sustainability so buy from charity shops and EBay secondhand….
The really posh have their own chickens ….

Only according to Kittlester’s dgd 😆
What she really means of course is that her gran has money enough to shop there.

Oh me too.

Been in John Lewis once?
Waitrose, about 5 times.
I am much posher on the egg front however.

fancythat Wed 18-Feb-26 15:52:15

That was to BB

NotAGran55 Wed 18-Feb-26 15:52:45

My eggs are Duchy Free range Organic…from Waitrose 😀
I fell in love with John Lewis 60 years ago when I was taken there to get my school uniform.
I had never been in a shop so amazing and have shopped there almost exclusively there ever since.

I’m far from posh.

I do shop at Waitrose, you can get good
bargains and my friend gives me her home hatched eggs she cannot sell!

Oh yes BlueBelle the ‘ I look up to him’ class sketch😄

AGAA4 Wed 18-Feb-26 16:07:51

Dare I mention Fortnums. Oh Oreo I am disappointed. I had my 5 minutes of poshness taken away.

annodomini Wed 18-Feb-26 16:10:18

Close family links with Waitrose and JL, but where can I find an accessible egg farm?

Oreo Wed 18-Feb-26 16:10:45

I expect you will get over it AGAA4 tho if you’re a regular at Fortnums the poshness can be reinstated wink

Brilliant BlueBelle I haven’t laughed so much for a long time !

kittylester Wed 18-Feb-26 16:28:33

Actually, I have a weekly delivery from Sainsbury's and only top up at Waitrose.

Purplepixie Wed 18-Feb-26 16:36:26

Wow! I’m posh! I shop at a local farm shop. Special treats from Waitrose and M&S. Sainsbury’s for weekly shop. But I love charity shops and good old fashioned jumble sales at the church. Garage sales are good as well.

BlueBelle Wed 18-Feb-26 16:46:24

That link was for the sketch by Ronnie Corbett Ronnie Barker and John Cleese…. ‘I look up to him’ it’s very funny Sorry link was wrong

kittylester Wed 18-Feb-26 16:47:45

Love that sketch.

TerriBull Wed 18-Feb-26 16:50:48

I'm not sure John Lewis is posh, well not enough for Carrie Johnson when the family moved into Downing Street, John Loo's, just way too provincial don't ya knowshock Some designer by the name of Lulu Lytle was commissioned to pimp the gaffe up! Give it that certain Madame Pompadour naff make over

AGAA4 Wed 18-Feb-26 16:52:37

I remember that. Great sketch. "I know my place"as the working man.

“She is almost 13 and an authority on most things”………..well, aren’t they all? 😂

Visgir1 Wed 18-Feb-26 17:04:44

That's me too then, I use Waitrose to do my shopping and get it delivered every 2 weeks. My sister and I call John Lewis the mother ship! We frequently touch base with it.
I shop weekly at M&S for Fruit and Veg however, I don't have a farm shop near by but I do have a Milkman.
But this doesn't me my posh!
