How posh are you?

Oh good grief, I scored 19.

I thought I was middle class but obviously not even that judging by the score.

It seems I belong to the nike track suit hooped earrings brigade!

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 !

I've only heard Americans pronounce it like that! Half of it is ridiculous, the other half is only half relevant!

I don't even have one any more so it does not matter ! The closest I have to a garaaaaage is a huttttt.

67%!

I am actually surprised it's not higher tbh! People always tease me at work!

Most of my friends are what I would call posh (most Oxbridge, private schooled etc), but none are double-barreled!

I now live in London, so a numbered flat atm, but grew up in a named house with a land drover, more than 1 car & hunter wellies etc!

I still wouldn't say I was posh though- just everyone else does! :rotfl: (I think because I am well spoken people think in posher than I am- hopefully that rather than people thinking I am just a bit of a snob!:eek: ).

I got 40% - there were some silly questions in the quiz. I've lived in houses with mantlepieces most of my life - wouldn't be possible to have mantlepieces in my penthouse apartment with its sloping roof.

I have given the place a name but it has a number too, and I don't have as plaque with the name on - it's just what I call it.

yes i didn't understand the mantlepiece question either - i grew up in a farm labourer's cottage with coal fires, which had hearths and tiled surrounds - and they all had mantlepieces of sorts! My B&Q gas fire surround has a mantlepiece - I thought that was normal? I think its posh if you have one of those flush-to-the wall mounted fires .

I get this, because I'm well spoken!

No, I am not posh but I knew this before taking that rather amusing test. But, horror of horrors, I have been accused in the past of being middle-class, which I am not either. Because my parents taught me to speak proper-like, innit.

37%, guess I'm just a working class wanna be posh.

The only person I know who drives a land rover is my sister in law who works as a ranger, her land rover is loud, uncomfortable and filthy. Not very posh.

13%. Hmm, too posh for my liking.
