    But really, who cares? .

    Nobody really, except perhaps a few with chips on their shoulder. It's only a bit of fun.

    :rotfl: Yeh...right...57% apparently entitles me to £200 a day for a few minutes at the House of Lords does it:rotfl::rotfl:. That's what I call "setting the bar rather low"...

    I don't fink so...and anyway I don't live anywhere near London.:cool:

    Now if they had a quiz as to "how low can you go?" as regards income on the other hand.....:(:wall::doh::sad:

    Maybe it's the one time I ever went to a ballet...

    I'm guessing that the "posh" answer about keeping plastic bags is to keep them? Working on the basis that it's environmentally friendly to re-use them (even though it isn't to take them in the first place).
  • 50% Is eating your dinner at a table really considered posh? I think they are confusing class and manners!

    I couldn't figure that one out either? I guess what we use them for makes it not posh....we use them for putting kitchen scraps in before taking them out to the outside bin.

    43% posh. I took 'scarf' to mean one of those thin cotton ones that my posher friends wear lol (I despise them). If I'm counting my furry fluffy or knitted ones (ie scarf that keeps you warm and you love rather than some posh Hermes type scarf), it puts me on 47% posh.

    I didn't think it was so much that one ate at a table but that one named it as a dinner table when you had your evening meal.

    I'm 43% - thought i would be higher though! My sister is doomed as she owns all the clothes, rides horses and definitely has friends with double barrelled surnames...

    71%, which shows what a total load of rubbish the test is as I grew up in a working class family from Birmingham. I did go on to get PhD and MBA degrees, several ex-pat jobs and am just about to marry a Frenchman, so these factors could have influenced my score.

    But really, who cares? Only the UK (with the possible exception of India), is so hung-up on such matters and actually uses the likes of inherited wealth and privilege as barometers to judge the merit of a person. One of the reasons I left TBH. So sad.

    I'm not sure why you think marrying a Frenchman is posh.... :rotfl:

    It's only a bit of fun!

    Plastic bags I said no to because I avoid then like them like the plague! Don't know if that's posh or common but hey ho.

    Fun!
