    I am 60% posh.
    To be honest if sitting at a table for my evening meal makes me posh then I'm all for it!

    Like some others I wouldn't consider myself posh although some members of my family are. I'm just me.

    I'm 20% posh.

    I always knew that, but...

    I am going to print it out, and take it into work, and the next time someone says "I'm not saying Cait's posh, but..." , I will produce my 20% posh certificate with a flourish.

    I'm a bit of a Heinz variety mongrel with a score of 43% posh.:D


    I know my place. My Hunter wellies are black, that's what let me down.

    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.
    Remember Occam's Razor - the simplest explanation is usually the right one. :)

    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


    Thank you for that. :cool:

    I find that a light scarf, whether a real pashmina or a thin cotton one, around my neck , does the job and is the last layer in keeping me warm.

    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.

    Drat I forgot I do that as well!! That may have pushed my % up from a feeble 30%. I read The Times and I am 70% common, can't let them know they might cancel my subscription!! I don't ride but we have 2 horses and I wear scarves! I am so ashamed :rotfl:
