what’s something that absolutely ISN’T posh but you thought it was?

[WrSad]

I would say

Having 3 bathrooms

Asking what’s not posh...

As a teenager I used to think net curtains were posh, on the grounds that my family seemed less posh than some of my friends' families who did have net curtains. My parents didn't want them because they felt they blocked too much light out.

Sainsbury's

Wine.

Growing up, we drank wine once a year, on Christmas Day. I thought wine was for posh people, and certainly not for people like me. Discovering wine, and meeting people who knew about it and enjoyed drinking it regularly, was one of the many ways in which going to university opened my eyes

I was going to say smoked salmon!

Food processors.

Only realised they weren't when I got to Uni. Someone had one in their student house, I made some quip about it being posh only to be met with a sea of faces.

Saying 'pardon'. Apparently properly posh people say 'what?'. Who knew.

Vienetta

Howling!!!!

Brilliant.

Three bathrooms is posh, though, I would say.

Having dinner/tea/supper in the evening as opposed to about 5pm.

Posh but isn't really:
Vienetta here too. It's not that nice but child aged me fell for the advertising!
Prawns.

Posh:
Three bathrooms, large en suites.

We loved the serving hatch in my grandparents house (Victorian), deep enough to rest a plate on, similarly sized to a large toaster. We used to wriggle through it. Apparently my mum squeezed through it on her 21st birthday 😂. It wasn't posh though.

It’s not posh to have three bathrooms when you’re the cleaner

Special Brew .

My parents aren't big drinkers, but in the 80s they loved the stuff, for some reason. They'd share a can, in the nice glasses with the pheasant transfers on, on a Friday evening in front of the telly. There would be a whole ritual with bowls of crisps & nuts, & the can would be ceremonially decanted with much chuckling about how nice it was to have a weekend treat. They'd drink it, watch Bergerac or whatever, & off they'd go to bed.

I went off to uni genuinely thinking it was a classy beer which was drunk by the discerning.

My parents drink naice waine these days & the occasional craft beer. Still strictly one drink each on a Friday.

Spaghetti that didn’t come in a tin as hoops.

Normal sandwich fillings like cheese, ham, tuna mayo, egg mayo. Sandwiches when I was a kid were Marmite, jam or peanut butter.

Fresh vegetables, and a variety of vegetables in a meal. My mother used frozen carrots/peas, full stop. The first time she ate a meal I had made as an adult she said "ooh, it's like eating jewellery!". It was couscous with chopped up veg stirred through it.

Having serving dishes on the table for people to serve themselves potatoes etc. The norm when I was a kid was the parent "putting the dinner out" in the kitchen.

Plastic lunch boxes with characters on them, and roughneck flasks, and sandwiches in little plastic bags inside. I really wanted these but had a breadbag with a sarnie and a banana in it.

Growing up.
People who used to have the newest model of car or change them very regularly.
Completely the opposite to my way of thinking now.

Back in the 70s :
having a bought not rented tv,
more than one telephone in the house,
artic roll or vienetta.
a driveway,
a car on the driveway,
living in a posh area,
wine in a bottle not a box,
having diamonds on daily,
French manicured nails,
or a massive diamond engagement ring.

I’m off to put some diamonds on, if you got it flaunt it!

@EmergencyHydrangea

Having three bathrooms is pretty bloody posh

That sounds like a massive pain in the arse, unless you have a decent and reliable cleaner. 😂

tinned salmon, only made an appearance on special occasions

Having a dining room
Viennetta
En-suite bathrooms
Croissants
Dairylea lunchables
Having a cleaner
Steak
Name brand cola

Yankee Candles
Baylis and Harding

Referring to the sweet meal after dinner as "dessert". The (very few) posh people I know call it pudding.

My family had so many of these things when I was growing up.
As an adult I live in an HA home and whilst I do have a cleaner it's because I have a chronic illness.

Ferrero Rocher's

Nando's 😂😂😂😂
