No it's not about THE Posh

From a minor comment with somebody this morning, which then got me thinking.

Do others think you are posh? Do they feel you come across as it despite being anything but?

Are you posh and they are spot on?

Or even are posh but they think otherwise?

People think we're posh.

We're not.

I don't know why they think it.

They also think we're rich.

We're not.

I think the reason they think it is be because of the jobs we held and how we look. It's all smoke and mirrors.

I’m just a simple country boy, but after I left home at 18 and uni at 21 I moved up to that there London for a job.

After being up this way for most of my adult life now the locals around here still think that I sound like a country bumpkin, but the people back ‘home’ think I’ve gone all posh.

So I can’t win really!

I'm not posh, my accent tells you I'm not

Though when someone describes me as middle class I get a bit offended, coming from a working class family. To be honest I don't really know what defines the different classes anymore. And can you change yours in your own life time? Seems a very British thing does class.

When I was at school I was frequently called posh. I was born in Wolverhampton but my parents weren't, and I have a mix of their accents.

It annoyed me as a child but doesn't bother me now. Though I still am often asked where I'm from.

For most people I think this is the case. The way we speak is often at conflict with the way we are in terms of what is considered stereotypical. As said above smoke and mirrors more than anything, but the speaking we'll is not put on, we just naturally are well spoken

Ah yes it is you! Posh. Scouse. Interesting.

I don't think I'm posh. I sound quite wanky. I've had a kind of wanky/privileged life, especially in the two latter decades. Sometimes people think I am. I think of myself as your standard, cliched chubby Home Counties woman, minus a labrador.

I don't see anything wrong with being posh, on the forums you quite often get inverse snobbery like it's a really bad thing. Never quite understood that.

I don't think so.

I do find it vulgar when someone's entire conversation revolves around the money they have and the things they own, but that's not being posh to me anyway.

Poshness is in the eye of the beholder, and what one person considers posh another will consider horribly déclassé.

Really depends where you are from and your experiences with ‘posh’ people, just as some would reverse it and look down on those deemed to be ‘working’ class, bottom of the ladder.

Stereotype thoughts still exist, but it’s just someone’s perception of how they think someone is because they have this or that, a different accent, type of job, etc without giving them the opportunity to get to know you

Indeed. To me it is is more about the way one acts and talks (some will ridicule it) but in a refined way, without the snobbery attitude.

Most just auto associate posh and snobbery as the same thing because they often do come together anyway.

It’s all complex isn’t it. Makes me think of Bourdieu- habitus, capital etc.

Personally I think being posh is mostly things we present outwards? Behaviours, attitudes, voice, language, tastes but how we outwardly present them. Maybe also about the spaces you’re socialised in and the behaviours you understand and reproduce as a result? I would completely reject the idea that I’m posh and would definitely not fit in amongst ‘posh’ people. But I think lots about my life, education, family wealth, language, attitudes, behaviours lead people to make fair assessments of what social class I would belong to.

Not to make everything about race but I think race can play a part in that. I don’t know it’s complex. Interesting reading the thoughts of others on this too. Great thread.

I had the opposite experience to you I think. I went to a rough as a badger's arsehole primary school, but then went to a ridiculously snobby grammar school where I was the poor kid and was bullied mercilessly for it.

People from my primary school class would definitely consider me posh now, if for no other reason than I've never been arrested (ooh, posh girl). People from my secondary school class never would.

Haha, never been arrested? Go you! Interesting, sorry you had a tough secondary experience.

I think interesting because although others may assert that you are x class or so posh, the real tell is in whether you actually ‘fit in’ or how and on what basis you are excluded from that group.

In the west.

I'm Scottish so I can't be posh, we just can't do the voice, unless you come from certain parts of big cities - Edinburgh or Glasgow.

I get called a snob because I now have a job where I don't get filthy everyday and can go to work in fairly decent clothes that don't need to be covered by overalls.

If even had it because of how much I spend in some of my clothes. They may be fairly expensive but they last me for years and they keep their shape, and colour to some extent.

I'm not sure how much of a thing it is else where in the UK but in some parts of Scotland people don't like to see you improving yourself and striving for a better life than you had growing up.

Some people say I'm posh but it's because of things I like and don't like I.e. i don't like eating pinics on the grass, I like to eat out in pubs and restaurants (hate cooking and work long hours) and like a tidy home. To me this isn't posh at all but to some it is. These are a few examples

"Yes, people think I am posh. I am not really as I am just a polite English lady living in Glasgow."

Would a polite Englidh lady talk whilst her mouth was full?

"I am a posh Aussie.

Oxymoron

Or foxymoron if you watch Kath & Kim

Australia still has a class system...

It certainly has! Very nepotistic, Kings School or nowhere else if you are to make it to Canberra. "

My da went to Scotch College. Only became a doctor.

I was taught to adapt to the social situation. So at school we had elocution lessons to ensure we spoke well.

Mostly RP I suppose. However I soon learned once I left school to modulate and mimic my accent and overall language vocabulary.

So the breadth of vocabulary and pronunciation I use with my local builder is significantly different from what I might use with my GP.

I let them speak first, then I assess and modulate / mirror accordingly.

We all have different voices, don’t we ?

It’s nothing like the U.K.. non existent in places like west QLD , WA and NT, millionaire farm and land owners and workers are pretty much the same people, dress the same, drink in the same bars, fight each other over the same women.

I wasn't claiming it was like the UK, just that class does still exist in Oz. I'm from Victoria.

"I knew I wasn't posh after I'd gone to a friend's house after school and her after school snack was mussels in white wine sauce.

I scoff at you’re “posh” friend. Mussels are for plebs and gym bunnies. Only oysters and caviar for snacking darling.

And dunnae mention Prosecco.

Think Melbourne is a bit more 'old school' than Sydney, that's a real fur coat and no knickers city - Dieu would fit right in!

Hockey is one of the easiest ways to have one's nose rearranged! Try it, it's not just for the posh. . . .
