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

Nice try
But this thread is about what others think is posh and we think of as common
Prosecco falls into that category
And your final sentence - I think you are trying too hard to be bitchy and upset me

My grandma thought vienetta was so posh! I bought my family one from Morrisons (the food is better quality there than M&S) not so long ago. They loved it!

Waitrose

"I'm in the gardens"

i dont understand the brief

Precocious children

Isn't Bear Grylls quite posh? His children are very precocious.

Ha. I remember a very posh friend (aristo) trying to act like he’d eaten takeaway before when we all ordered one once. Then we all realising that he hadn’t and he didn’t know what to do 😂.

You've never picked your own blueberries whilst hiking in Scandinavia or Poland, or you'd take that slur back. Blueberries are delicious!

I score two common things. Gym and we had speeches at our wedding many years ago. But I don’t talk about going to the gym!

Yeah, the Russians spoiled it for me.

Many people feel their council house is their forever home

Actually, they'd say " I'm in the grounds" 😀

No, but I have picked blackberries on the North Circular!!!😁
However, even if the blueberries had been picked by dew-drenched fairies in neverland, they would still be disappointing!
Sorry, slur stands!!

Empty Fortnum and Mason hampers placed strategically about the house.

Posh isn’t things it’s the person I think. But perhaps that’s the lighthearted point to your thread op, you can’t buy posh, you can buy expensive stuff.

Candlelight suppers (was watching some of the Patricia routledge night last night). We’ve always been obsessed by class it’s not a mumsnet thing- have a watch of keeping up appearances.

What do you mean? Seccy is dead posh in my part of the world😂

Changing your decor for autumn winter

Christmas Eve boxes

Ooo ooo Range Rover Evoque especially the cabriolet!

Simply shows too poor to be able to have a 4 x 4 AND a soft top!

Not knowing when the Arts and Crafts movement was

Putting crisps in a bowl. This is definitely posh! 😂
When I was little, mum used to put crisps in a bowl if we had a sandwich type lunch as a family and for some reason we always said 'is the queen coming?'

Me too and as DH and I, not posh at all, are inheriting money from DM, again not posh, (inherited from her DM, the least posh of all of us) will that make my DC posh because it's technically 3rd generation money?

I've said this before but MN obsession with class, wealth and social status is quite strange.

Surely that Range Rover is wrapped in gold plastic. Like a Ferrero Rocher.

Ah yes, calling one's Range Rover, a Range.

Anything that is a conspicuous show of having lots of money.

I'm with you on this one. There's so very standard things that people seem to think other people do or have to try to be "posh". (Maybe a few hangups at play!)

The other game I like to play is after something off the wall is suggested by one poster, is to see how quickly it's commented on by another poster.

Though someone (pages back) offer "tarmac drives", yet no one else has picked up on it so I'm starting to think I'm either going mad and imagined it, or tarmac drives actually are posh.
