I wondered about the cutlery, I keep an old set for barbeques, but the set I use every day is Oneida, now I know thats posh:D

But as I use the good stuff every day, its probably not classed as posh:rotfl:
If I had a spare set from argos it would probably be classed as posh:rotfl:

Having a second set of cutlery for special occasions is definelty posh, you know the sort that comes in an oak box?

I'm 23% posh.
Does that make me 77% riff-raff?

The Oneida only came in cardboard, nice cardboard though.
I dont like the ranges that come in oak boxes, they are fussy & old fashioned.
My point being, I use the best stuff daily & keep the second (cheaper) set for casual entertaining, in the garden.

It's called a canteen.

That's just what I interpreted it to mean. But doing it backwards counts too I suppose!

The question that confused me is the one about hiding your loo roll under "decorative covers". I'd always thought that is something that lower class people did thinking it was posh, but no actual posh person would do!

It's definitely something Hyacinth Bucket would do.

I think it is, much like saying "serviette" instead of "napkin", and some of the quiz was slightly Hyacinth Bucket.

I'm from a working class background, but I used to date a very posh guy (he had an actual title and his parents owned an estate and everything) and he used to eat his dinner off his lap :rotfl:
