    33%. Based on the description, 33-50% is to me what the average people I know would be. Brought up with manners and respect. The things you can't buy, as apposed to the other throw away and personal choice posh behaviour spending.

    0% – 25% CHAVTASTIC – You’re about as posh as doner kebab. You eat with your mouth open, but at least you know where you come from and will probably stay there!
    I'm in the gutter somewhere. :rotfl:

    Ps I don't eat with my mouth open.

    Well I have clearly declined since the last time I did it..... :D

    No longer eat at the table as often as just haven't got the time, I save carrier bags as I have an indoor cat.....cut my head off now!

    The carrier bag question does really baffle me because IME it is the poshos who are most likely to save and refuse things. If you go to any of the posh shops in my town you will see the shoppers reusing their carrier bags far more than people in the cheap shops.

    Also I enjoy opera and ballet, but I go to see them at cheaper fringe or regional theatres. Does that make me posh or am I still condemned to being a chav because I don't go to fancy London theatres?!

    46% - just doing enough to not be ridiculed by all my non-posh acquaintances ;)
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I got 9%! I know I am not posh but even so.

    I did say I could not ride a horse although about 45 years ago I did go riding for a while. I should have said yes and made my score slightly higher
    The world is over 4 billion years old and yet you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie

    51%.

    Mummy and daddy would be very disappointed if they knew I got such a low score. It is their fault for not making me have riding lessons though...
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
