[News] Do you consider yourself Posh - How many ticks on the list ?

[McTavish]

I call it the shitter so sadly I score very low.

Shame as I thought I was quite posh, or at least not rough.

Shitter is much posher than toilet, so you still may be posh. Bog is posher than either.

2. Though oddly I have been called posh.

 

[Bob!]

2
knife, fork and loo

 

[beorhthelm]

I wonder which Premier League footballer would score most highly? I'm guessing Patrick Bamford

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. points for name, boarding school and nearly a cricket career.

 

[Driver8]

Nope. Never even been to Poland.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Definitely not posh, not one person that lives in Newhaven is

Only 2 on the list for me.
11- You know how to eat properly with a knife and fork- Of course.
28- You have a shelves full of books- Yes I own many books.

26- You wear an old Barbour jacket- I’ve got a brand new one and another one that’s definitely not old.
Riff-raff have new clothes

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Sh1t...five of them!!

- I've been on Ancestry, and created a Family Tree (but only to get myself an Irish passport - post-Brexit insurance)
- Generally use the term "loo", but didn't realise it was posh!
- I have a Latin "O" Level (definitely didn't go to public school, though)
- I love cricket (surely not a sin!)
- I do have loads of books

Plus - I've been skiing twice (in 58 years)....not sure if that counts

9. Four of them the same as yours

Quite a lot of the list is simply a catalogue of vulgarity and may as well be part of a quiz entitled "how many of these ***** do you remember from the 1970s?".

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Books and Latin, but none of the others. Nil desperandum.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

2
knife, fork and loo

You lose a point for eating supper while on the loo.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Ooh-er, six for me.

Been called posh but I'm definitely not.

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

7 for me....is that 'good'?!

Reckon I'm one of the few on here with a family coat of arms and wear a signet ring with said coat of arms/crest on my little finger! (But I can't be that posh as I wear it on my right hand, which is not what the really posh do, as they wear it on their left hand )

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Q: How do you know if someone went to Oxford?
A: They will tell you.

Only (in my experience) if it's Oxford Brookes (although they don't mention the last bit of it). We had two of these herberts in our department until they thankfully moved on to pastures new. One of them liked to go on about 'her' paper in Nature. Turns out she was eleventh author (out of 22) and credited with the equivalent of making sure the water for the tea was always piping hot.

 

[Comrade Sam]

Not posh and proud. 3) use knife and fork and have thousands of books - I do make bookcases for a living. Also during lockdown researched and created a family tree. But too many Jews, Jamaicans and Irish to make Debrets.

Shitter is much posher than toilet, so you still may be posh. Bog is posher than either.

Where does khazi sit in the pantheon? Above or below the doughnut in granny's greenhouse?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

31. You are good at small talk Does that make you posh?

No, but it makes you unlikely to be very far along the autism/aspergers spectrum.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Can’t be that posh if you have ticks

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Ooooh. Quite a few there.

Yes I am posh

 

[McTavish]

Where does khazi sit in the pantheon? Above or below the doughnut in granny's greenhouse?

Khazi is a cockney slang word so more for the poshos pretending to be cab drivers...or Guy Ritchie.

 

[Frutos]

6.5 for me.

I have antiques, a gardener, two loos, bookshelves and a family tree, and I can use a knife & fork properly.

The .5 is because I don't have a double-barrelled surname now but I will in a couple of months.

Mrs Jakarta went to Oxford (Lady Spencer Churchill College) but happily did her Masters at Sussex.

She was Head Girl of her Private School as well, think She married below herself (Grammar School Boy & Surrey University).

She's definitely Posh, I drag her down...
