    go the 'eccentric' route then Spinkz. That is your natural habitat anyway. just guffaw (do you know how to 'guffaw'? its rather like a donkeys bray crossed with a horses neigh)loudly and pronounce 'house' as 'hice'.
    easy peasy!
    oh, and the tattiest dressers are going to be the 'aristocracy' at these events. the best dressers will be the middle class who are 'social climbing'.

    But the tatty dressing has to be the right sort: good quality things which were more on the classic side than the high fashion when they were new a few decades ago.

    Its been my life long dream of mine to attend the henley royal regatta but i'm really struggling to get in with the in crowd :(

    I nearly wheedled my way to an invite via a facebook group by posting pictures of me wearing chino's and a striped blazer that i look hot in! They almost bought it but 1 guy in the group went through my timeline and found a picture of a half eaten pepperami and called me out on it! I tried to play it out as a bit of chorizo but they had none of it and blocked me from the group :eek:

    I dont know how to appeal to posh people! Can someone help me out so i can achieve my dream?

    This post is quite funny. :rotfl:So basically you were blocked because you didn't do your research to know that pepperami was unacceptable :rotfl:

    You can always try being yourself and let people accept you for who you really are. :)

  • Lol, you either got it or you don't! If you need to act to a different persona your not true to yourself and others that are probably highly educated won't like it and spot you a mile off. Spend more time on self discovery and confidence. You are very funny though and brightened up my Saturday morning 😂 👍

    You don't need a posh friend, unless you want to go into the Steward's Enclosure. Members of the public can buy a ticket for the Regatta Enclosure.

    If you want to go into the Steward's Enclosure, you need a Member to invite you as their Guest. Few would do so, unless they know you personally. But you might find one or two who would consider it if they were generously minded, and you explained your interest in the rowing, your understanding of the dress code, and perhaps offered to do something for them in return.
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
