I note you never said YOUR butler Soxy ..... you are fooling NO ONE... you are the chips in the cheap as deary .... " Bu-b-b-b-but Gwanny. My use of the term “the butler” in place of “my butler” was purely intentional, it helps maintain that healthy detachment in case I need to administer a good thrashing upon him. However … I’m rather fond of the gardener who helps keep my verge free from untidy growth…. But OK I do admit to being a bit cheap now and again,,,,,But c'mon Gwanny, giz a break... chips taste much better nicer eaten from newspaper!!! | |||

"Looking here some people are posh and some working class what are you?" As with others folks i'm not quite sure what i'd be classed as. Born to working class 1st generation asian parents, raised on an ex-council estate, degree educated and looking to pursue doctorate, holding a decent job with fairly well off people as colleagues (im the commoner apparently), so not sure if im still working class or middle class but you can decide by the class measuring stick I was called posh once by a lass from Dudley cause i'd lost my black country accent, not sure if that counts How about human class, can i be labeled as that please | |||

"Looking here some people are posh and some working class what are you?" So, two peopl sit next to each other in work, they both do the same job..but one was raised on a council estate, the other on a private estate... Which one is 'working class' ??? I once went out with a woman who spoke fondly of her 'working class' colleagues..even though she did the same job as them she considered herself 'middle class'...what a load of bollocks! Why put yourself on a higher level than someone else in a situation like that??..why?, because you want to feel superior to other people maybe? I know people who consider themselves to have 'middle class values' but are real snides when it comes down to it..and others who for some strange reason consider themselves 'working class' and are the salt of the earth... I do what some clowns might consider a 'middle class' job..but I refuse to be put in a box..I am working class, I am of a class of people who work...like most of us. I detest people who consider themselves 'better' than others by classing themselves a grade higher...conversely, I am puzzled by those who consider themselves as 'only working class' as if its some sort category at the bottom of the pecking order. You either work, or you dont. | |||

"Surely being posh is not the same as being a snob, I don't see how being labelled posh would be anything to be ashamed of,,, After-all inverted snobbery is as objectionable as elitism…. " I agree with you completely and that is why I said what I said - the term "posh" has a pejorative connotation. | |||

" I can see where you are coming from. It is just that in my experience (I have been labelled posh on many occasions) it has always "sounded" like a negative attribute - for one I cannot help the fact my parents chose a grammar school for me, that the almost natural progression from there was uni etc. I do feel I have had a priviledged upbringing (and I am grateful for that and it is one of the reasons I am trying to give something back to society). I just feel a bit uncomfortable when people call me "posh". | |||

"Question to ... anybody really: Why are people who have an above average education, earn a good living for their work and enjoy the finer things in llife such as theatre, opera etc... why are these people often labelled as posh and it sounds like an accusation rather than a description? I am curious I don't see the connection between someone being posh and an accusation its a descriptive word that has been used for decades if not centuries. I would describe myself as affluent and educated but far from posh and haven't been tagged that way. Saying that I have friends I would describe as posh or from a privileged background who have family money but little personal wealth who are described as posh and I don't really see it as an accusation or anything negative just a way of describing them and their background the same as someone who is working class. I can see where you are coming from. It is just that in my experience (I have been labelled posh on many occasions) it has always "sounded" like a negative attribute - for one I cannot help the fact my parents chose a grammar school for me, that the almost natural progression from there was uni etc. I do feel I have had a priviledged upbringing (and I am grateful for that and it is one of the reasons I am trying to give something back to society). I just feel a bit uncomfortable when people call me "posh"." posh totty thats a nice thing. now i must see to my, my.... corgis there jackets need ironing, jeeves... jeeves | |||

You know the way if you've got no money and you're eccentric, that makes you a loon. But if you have money and you're a loon, you're eccentric?lol I'd like to think the word posh would mean polished as opposed to snobbish but that all depends on everyone else's understanding of the word | |||

"Looking here some people are posh and some working class what are you? Working class is a contradiction in terms. If you have a job you're working no matter how much you earn ! I think it used to refer to manual workers." I agree it used to. Unfortunately theres a form of reverse snobbery in existence now. Earn a good living and do well in life...which lets face it isn't a bad thing to do and people who are struggling label you sometimes. Posh has nothing to do with work and besides what's so awful about it ? Embrace diversity, it makes life a spicier experience | |||

I am curious " I think that often the people who use that term in an accusatory way, do so because they 'assume' anyone who has any of the above are 'assuming' they are better than them. It's a knee-jerk reaction which is easier than actually getting to know a person. I don't 'get' snobbery and I don't get 'inverted snobbery' I think it's a real shame that some people miss out some wonderful characters and experiences by putting themselves in a box and never reaching out of it. | |||

"Looking here some people are posh and some working class what are you? So, two peopl sit next to each other in work, they both do the same job..but one was raised on a council estate, the other on a private estate... Which one is 'working class' ??? I once went out with a woman who spoke fondly of her 'working class' colleagues..even though she did the same job as them she considered herself 'middle class'...what a load of bollocks! Why put yourself on a higher level than someone else in a situation like that??..why?, because you want to feel superior to other people maybe? I know people who consider themselves to have 'middle class values' but are real snides when it comes down to it..and others who for some strange reason consider themselves 'working class' and are the salt of the earth... I do what some clowns might consider a 'middle class' job..but I refuse to be put in a box..I am working class, I am of a class of people who work...like most of us. I detest people who consider themselves 'better' than others by classing themselves a grade higher...conversely, I am puzzled by those who consider themselves as 'only working class' as if its some sort category at the bottom of the pecking order. You either work, or you dont." Too right. It's all defined by sociologists (like my brother), and how they want to put you in a box according to THEIR rules. I make my own. | |||
