    Perhaps its the fact I'm currently eating fish and chips out the wrapper in my room whilst drinking Pepsi max from the bottle that's letting me down :rotfl:

    50%! Funny questions, though.

    So wearing a scarf is posh. Hmmm. I wear one because I'm cold.





    Lol, it doesn't mean that type of scarf, its the lightweight ones usually flowery, worn loosely over a smart-casual outfit, whether you are cold or not. Most of the women in my office wear them.


    33% btw for me

    Also whats with the mantlepiece?
    And household having more than one car?
    I live alone & have one car, is it posher to live with someone & have 2?
    Whats with the land rover? I'd rather an range rover.



    Land Rovers are for real posh people - for travelling to their estates along muddy county lanes. Range Rovers are for wanna be posh people - for doing the school run and going to the shopping centre, lol!!
  • 50% posh innit.

    47% - would have been lower but my son bought himself a title as a joke!
    and I don't apologise for swearing either!
    and a mantelpiece is for putting birthday cards on! (with the Victorian Lustres I inherited).
    I found that weird - really posh people behave like chavs! they just have better houses and cars.

    Seriously ? no one yet has beaten my 73% ?

    Either the quiz is flawed, or people are hiding their posh-ness under a bushel.

    I am a mid-range scum-bag, not JK material and had a very posh (snobby...it's not the same) upbringing, but saw the error in their ways mid teens ! I am actually quite upset that some of their false affections seem to have rubbed off on me.

    I am nice really , my only "thing" is about manners, I am a bit p1ssy about them. * Swear word added in just to prove I am normal.
    I don't know much, but I know I love you ....<3

    I can't ride a horse, I read the mail, I don't cover my toilet rolls, I don't know anyone with a title, I've never watched the boat race in person, don't know anyone with those names, not been to the ballet (but often to the theatre), have a fake Christmas tree and I can't ski, oh and I say garage like a normal person. Tbh I think some of these are ridiculous so I'll take that ha ha.

    Yeah I can take comfort in the fact it's all a load of tosh hehe :)

    A lot of the things I have done, I have been dragged to. I got plonked on a horse, and I cried, I went to a boat race, but only because I liked rowing at school, the ski-ing was because we lived half a mile from the dry slope and it got us out her way for a while, the garaaaaaaaage was a legacy from the snobby school (sounds even worse with my broad Scottish accent), the titled people I know are related to my voluntary work . I am feeling more normal now !
