And what things would you consider define being posh?
*I don't mean Peterborough supporters. |  |

So not "Safe bruv"?
Actually, I want to retract part of my previous statements and reassign those who speak like that as some definitive underclass.
I trust this fits with the board's consensus. |
I don't say safe bruv but I do say 'kushty mate' *
*yes I know kushty is spelt with a 'C' |  |

I think it's because they're cretins, not because they went to a private school. I was privately educated and went to an 'elite' university and from my experience, private school people don't have any less of a breadth of awareness than state educated. I think it's the fact these people are hand picked from the Eton / Cambridge and daddy knows somebody, rather than the fact it was private per se, as 95% of privately educated people aren't mixing in those circles, in the same way 95% of state school people aren't Jeremy Kyle fodder.
I've got mates from school that are complete drop outs, and mates from state schools that are in highly educated jobs. There's still a stigma around state and private and it's in both directions. |
I think there is a big difference between privately educated, and the real toffs.
I went to private school, and a good university before dropping out - but think there is a big difference between being sent away to boarding school at 3 with a career path set out and what I did.
I'd say my experiences of mates are very similar to yours - although it's hard to deny those from private school had more opportunities one way or another | |

I once dated a colonel's daughter I'll have you know.
I remember moving to 'nice' area years ago. It was one of those villages inhabited by people who looked down on new comers too. I was taxi driving at the time.
I had a bbq one afternoon and I looked about at my close circle of pals and realised that I had an accountant, a Barclays bank manager, and a Culford school lecturer there, also a carpenter, a postie and a cement truck driver.
I was happy to have such a range of friends and it's bizarre to think some people would think in any other way. |

She's one of those people who could recite any swear word you can think of and it'll come out sounding pleasant.
She can't help it. |  |

When I was a small child my grandad used to say 'The definition of a gentleman is one who gets out of the bath to go to the toilet'
There's a huge difference between being 'posh' and having class IMO |  | | |

It's probably fair, although I prefer the one if BBC did a while back.

Technical middle class
This is a small, distinctive and prosperous new class group. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:
Mix socially with people similar to themselves
Work in research, science and technical fields
Enjoy emerging culture such as going to the gym and using social media
Which is almost bang on the money. |
Christ, I got the same...
Still not as posh as my boarding school educated wife though. |  |

Is the definition of posh somebody who doesn't use tinder? It's occurred to me that royalty and the landed gentry don't use these dating aps. Then again they marry their cousins. |  |
