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

And the food isn't very good either....

Range Rovers type cars, AI holidays

Girls outfits with bows and ruffles everywhere!
Sad Beige nurseries

Hehe you don't understand the assignment, 🫢Too many dogs & antiques are quite ' posh' in old money terms tho

Nope, it’s a fun place. Different things for everybody, I don’t see how it’s either “posh” or “common”.

Posh, no, expensive yes

Great name.

When I was at primary school we were forbidden to call the lavatories anything except "the offices". Looking back it was clearly based on when lavatories were called the house of office - probably a seperate building - which these were. Bloody freezing, Bronco paper and no locks on the doors.

Well I've eaten dragon fruit in several Asian countries, it's always included in the fruit salad in hotel breakfasts and I'm still not buying it. Tasteless and pointless.

Tackiest of all:

'Old' money acquired through ancestral exploitation and enslavement of other people.

Belief in national superiority

Not understanding that the essence of politeness is putting other people at their ease and not classifying their consumer or sartorial choices in minute detail as posh or tacky

Looks pretty tho

None of the above. You might be over-thinking it.

What ???

Huh? What else are you supposed to say?

The putting people at ease bit is why posh people don't make other people take their shoes off tho

Telsa
Kia cars
Anything electric car

WITH a personalised number plate.

My personal horror!

Surely no one thinks these are high end

I can assure you that nobody on this planet looks at a Kia and thinks posh.

Want photos. WANT!

Private School.

Mostly funded by the local drug dealers. Common or garden wronguns.

What is this magical unicorn of a car that isn’t common then?

But it's so 'right on' these days.
Doing your bit.
Look at me, the green avenger!
In my shiny new wheel with my posh plate.

I understand about the first three but what's the problem with trifle?

(not that any of them are considered remotely 'posh.' This thread is just going off on a U and non-U tangent now.)

Nope.. Must just be a you problem.

Izzit? I guess you learn something new everyday.

Driving a Mercedes. Calling your child Iona Mercedes.
