I was just reading an article called ‘money talks, wealth whispers’, and these are apparently signs -
Really good shoes
No logos on clothes
Minimal jewellery
Good teeth
A grand piano nobody plays

I can’t remember the rest

Sensible, good quality shoes which look as good after 10 years as the day they were bought. Dog walking in old clothes that don't match and are unironed . Wearing of headscarf. Children wearing second hand school uniform with Startrite shoes.

MzOops had a friend who parents were a ‘Lord and Lady’ , all furniture was good quality - passed down through the generations and falling apart, huge property in Holland Park, also showing signs of wear, various properties in the U.K., all showing their age.
They always left stuff laying around, house was in a mess because they knew that somebody would be along to pick it all up and clean up after them. True as they had staff.
Scruffy ( but at one time good quality ) clothing and shoes, unless they were going somewhere ‘posh’ when the family jewels would come out of the safe. Houses were cold and they wore layers of clothing, but doors and windows left wide open
( fond memories of unheated dorms at boarding school)
Disorganised, but with voices that would carry across a Gymkhana field and lots of smelly dogs that were carried in filthy vehicles.
Takes all sorts.
