Nah not me. Market trainers, Nicks not Nikes. Holidays was a day trip to Yarmouth when my dad had a day off work in August.
Think it did me some good, truth be told. |  |

Does that mean you're one holiday a year away from being rich, chickers?
And no. I shared beds and bathwater with family members. Strip wash in the sink, but Imperial Leather soap- so sorta posh. |  |

I remember getting a pair of Hi-Tec football boots. Was proud for five minutes. Then I realised everyone else had Puma Kings.
My one memory of Nicks trainers is that they were the brightest of whites, and seemingly huge. | |

I'm talking full on rich. 2 holidays for 2 weeks somewhere, skiing, and a British one chucked in for good measure, usually Centre Parcs because money can';t buy taste. Big detached house, private education, Dad never home, Mum never out, dinner parties, friends with Sheepshanks. That kind of rich. | |

Glad I didn't tbh. Being brought up in a working class family/town seems to have fared me well in life.
Plus, I didn't inherit that most middle-class of behaviours, passive aggression. | |

Come on. Who wouldnt want to have grown up with 2 acres, £1 a week pocket money, holidays in Cap Ferret and Rimini, a Rayleigh Grifter, and a Dad high up in the local Masons? | |

Sharing beds with family, so you're a Norfolk lad then?
I am not from posh stock. Think we went abroad twice in my whole childhood, once was camping in France and the other was a trip to visit family. |  |

Not sure too many of them are about in Lowie, buh!
I know some children of incredibly rich people. One has a Scottish laird for a dad who owns a castle/shooting estate, etc. Can't say I'd like to live in that particular bubble. Getting everything paid for for you must give you such a skewed view of the world.
If you've never had anything you can enjoy what you do eventually get a great deal more :) | |

Lowestoft, so close ;)
Nah, my nanny and grandad had separate beds in a two-bed house so I'd share with my nanny. Same with the bathwater- there's only one lot for everyone so sharing a must!
Tbf that does sound quite Victorian now. I'm only 30 ffs. | |

Never got on a plane 'til I was 23, and that was for work - so far from it.
Made up for it since mind :-) |  |

Imperial Leather? Basically middle-upper class |  |

Definitely not posh, but it was an upper middle / professional family. I've been sliding down the social and financial ladder ever since leaving home. |  |

Ah, the first person to put his head above the parapet. Tell us more about what it was like at Fettes or Framlingham. | |

Never that posh fella! I was sent to a comprehensive school (which my mum deeply regrets, but she was sticking to principals).
We did have a cottage in norfolk though - hence been a canaries fan and not a gooner. My guilty secret.
However, they both worked for the beeb and I had a nanny.
Go on, stick it to me! | |

I forgot to mention that the bathwater in question was pure peasant tears, so yah I guess so. | |

Certainly not me.
At the risk of going "Four Yorkshiremen" I remember having a bath in a tin bath in the kitchen, holidays were possibly twice a year at my grandparents in Worcestershire, my mum ringing clothes dry through a mangle, oh and seeing ITFC win the League. |  | | |
