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

Any food described as moreish or picky bits or nibbles
LED signs with supposedly inspiring maxims. Live! Laugh!pick yer bunions!
Saying bubbly when you mean any generic fizzy wine
Dubai

It's common! 😂 it's The kitchen, the house etc, it's never ' my lounge ' either btw😝

Being overly polite and saying thank you a million times to whoever made you a coffee
Audis
BMWs
Not ironing your kid’s uniforms
Barnes
Clapham obviously

You don't understand why Disney World is thought to be common? I mean, it's the height of lowest-common-denominator destinations, no?

Things that are popular that I consider beneath me.

Yes!!! I remember this. And also coloured rice or pasta in a fancy bottle/jar.

Aww I used to love Hunter wellies until the quality took a nosedive.

I'm having a de ja vu moment of someone on MN years and years ago talking about stunt pineapples. I think it was when people dress their kitchens for estate agents' photo shoots or fill their fruit bowls with exotic fruits to look impressive and healthy, but no-one ever eats it.

People (newspapers) using 'tragic' as code for 'death'. Any euphemism for death.

Gold taps, chandeliers, peacocks, Bentleys - more like footballers wives.

Just googled miller and carter locations….this is why only us northerners have heard of them🤣🤣

Did you know that there is zero factual proof of this?

But these are..posh things. Title is what is supposedly posh but are actually 'common' 😉

All inclusive holidays

POSH is an ancient acronym, from Raj days, when everyone travelled by ship. Port out, Starboard home, so you were always on the cooler deck. |The privilege would have been paid for.

I love Disney, and my big American fridge, and an M&S food hall, and also listen to Classic FM <bows head in middle class shame>

Sushi!!! That’s all of Japan out then 😂😂😂

It’ll always be Vienetta icecream🤣

Yes, that list puzzled me.

yep they haven't reached Surbiton yet 🤣

All inclusive holidays at places where I wouldn't fancy eating much at all!
Dubai
Miller & carter
Tesla's
Expensive branded clothes with massive logos on them
Spa days that are in a bit of a crap place

@Gloriiaa we've got one in Bath ,

I drink at the Ivy but never eat there. Does that still count?

They were just too easy to steal😂. Oh yes for sure it was, tons of fingered and minging bits everywhere, but it smelt divine!
I saw them in matalan, b&m, m&s and maybe others last Christmas. Tell Mr Lwren to get down to one of them, if not check amazon, they sell every bloody thing else bet that's common though right😂.
