    Go to the polo grounds. That's where lots of posh people hang out. They'll probably know the regatta crowd. Only Le Chameau or similar wellies welcome as Hunters are soo last year dahling. Don't wear a tie but a silk cravat, even for the most mundane outing but remember to wear a fairly battered fleece on top of your shirt. The wellies must be muddy otherwise they'll know you're an imposter.

    hmm..... posh people - funnily enough they are just like 'normal' people! my SILs family are millionaires - but they are just like us chavs! one of their sons is a drug addict, another is a layabout on benefits..... come to think of it - none of my family is on drugs................makes me feel slightly better.
    so I don't feel inferior to them - and they are actually nice people. just talk to them.
    my grandfather used to say ' I don't care if he's the King or the Dustman just treat him with respect'.

    Model yourself on the posh bloke out of Gogglebox. This has the added advantage that you can get very drunk and as long as you do it on a mixture of very strange cocktails rather than snakebite you should be fine.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Buy yourself one of those titles for a metre square patch of mud in the !!!! end of nowhere - Lord Spinkz of Mudpuddle might get your foot into the "Inbreds Only" tent and free champagne by the bucket.

    I've been to Henley, my partner at the time was a rower. Good times.

    Spinkz I don't know why you would want to mix with people that are so different to yourself? Seems odd to aspire to a group that would not accept you as you are.
    We all have dreams of grandeur tomtom and i just want to fulfil my dream of being in with them! I shall go to the regatta cinderella :D

    In my opinion they don't even look friendly. Most of them are serious divas.... stay away from the ponies is my advice.
    Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.
