Supposedly ’posh’ things you think are common *trigger warning this is light hearted*

[ReadingWorm]

Obviously lighthearted and no need to explain your rational. But what are things that some people consider high end/ posh/ classy/ aspirational (I know they are not necessarily the same thing) that you don’t like/ think are tacky/ common / etc.

Again this is light hearted. We can complain but we must never explain!!!!!!

Here is my list.

Molton Brown hand wash
M&S food shop
American Style Fridges
Having a tan
Talking about exercising
Beauty Advent Calendars
Designer toasters and kettles
House of Fraser department stores
Posting photos from 1st class travel on instagram
Referring to your car by its brand name
Talking about your ‘forever home’
Shopping in Space NK
Visiting Disney World
Listening to Classic FM

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

I have only every said 'the garden' not because I am 'posh' but because for the longest time I only lived in houses with no front garden and only a bit of grass at the back 😆

Saying that lockdown was paradise.

Reflexive pronouns was going to be my one! John Finnemore (comedian) is spot on in my favourite radio series ever, Cabin Pressure.

Nail varnish in anything except a single colour.

'arty' tattoos

Any writing on walls, signs, cushions etc inside a private house.

Saying 'home' or 'property' instead of 'house'.

'pardon'

Why is referring to your car by its brand name a class thing? I'll sometimes refer to it by the brand, sometimes by the colour. Eg "DH, I'm taking the red car today, can you take the Honda?"

Nicky Haslam tea towels
Botox
AI holidays

Wtf is wrong with classic FM?! It's my go to for keeping calm in bastard London traffic.

Actually posher folk listen to Radio 3.

Using the word “posh”

German cars - BMWs, Audis and Mercedes'. The roads are saturated with them. People think they're something special but seem completely unaware of just how common they are. I always assume people who buy them are sheep who have no imagination of their own.

Like the little girls in Southport you mean? 😡

No, that's a step too far.
This is getting very cruel now.
You do realise that horse and carriage funerals are used a lot for small children dont you?
How dare you mock the bereaved.

I’ve actually never heard of Miller & Carter until tonight.
It’s clearly a restaurant, someone mentioned Harvester?

Salcombe = Belgravia on Sea
Helford = Knightsbridge on Sea
Rock = Fulham on Sea

Should I continue? The people who live in between usually sail a million times faster.

Yes the bath perls!! Bloody heck, I loved them. How I was never arrested pinching them is beyond me. Body shop was another place with lots of "minging and fingered" cosmetics wasn't it 😂

Stunt oil 😂 haha!
I've never seen any in the shops, probably because I only go aldi or use vinted 😂
I'm going to get Mr lwrenn to get me some stunt oil for my birthday now and if anyone touches it there will be bloody murder!

I thought this when that PP posted it….thought it was cruel and totally unnecessary

I loved this, made me smile, thank you 😂

They already have.

Wine

Wine is seen as posh? Are you posting from 1975?

Now that so funny

Oh I love this! Squinting at the photos I see one of them includes ‘The Northern Lights’ and ‘Strawberries’.

Red (or possibly yellow/maroon) courds. A la Chelea. That's vair posh

the wine I drink is certainly not posh 🤣

Ha ha, yes!
Smart people have so many spaniels and labradors that the occasional booted visitor really won't make a difference. 🤣
Everyone else though - leave M&S food shops alone! And BTW, Range Rovers are allowed if they aren't white and as long as they have dirt around the wheels! 😉

Lwrenn, ALDI would deffo have stunt oil at Christmas!

Exactly in both forms of snobbery and inverse snobbery.

I buy my padron peppers from Marksies food hall….they don’t sell them in Aldi !
