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

Unless cleaner is washing as guests walk it is still a no from me lol

What the heckers is an outdoor TV room? I must be either very posh or very common to not know.

The clothing part sounds quite OCD if I’m perfectly honest..

Mungo and Belly selling their crafted items at the artisanal school event.
Macaroni and Copydex is still macaroni and Copydex.

ok I will bite.
Being above yourself and unnatural
Range rovers unless legitimately covered in mud
Anything obviously labelled
massive lips
too much skin on show even if you can afford to show it off
dryorbes anywhere than on the beach/aquapark
but mostly being impolite

Waitrose. Parkrun. Going to bookshops? (In London especially the very instagrammable daunt books). Sipping coffee and pastries at hip cafes. Having a picnic at hampstead Heath or primrose hill?
HA I used to live in a “naice” area, can you tell? 😅 only joking, of course

Every post here just makes me smile. I can see the rich and the poor within them all. I would say (coming from experience), that the saying is true money really doesn't buy u happiness!

Just using the word’ posh’ is so common!

But this thread is about things people think about as posh but aren't, and to be fair, asking guests to take their shoes off is one of very few things on the thread that actually meets the criteria. So we gotta allow it.

I wear clothes I chucked on the floor of a club while I was dancing.

What different cats we all are!

This.

Yup

Labradors and spaniels
Hand me down furniture
Having a special bucket to catch the drips from the leaky roof of your hand me down house.
Having any new car unless a hand me down or found in the barn.
New clothes, unless the labrador or spaniel have chewed them beyond repair or fit for company.

Since when is talking about exercise posh? 🤣

I love prosecco and do not think it's posh! I drink in the local pub and like a good drink, it's just less of a hangover killer than wine 😆

Plus fours. Bag pipes. Cuckoo clocks. John Craven. Wensleydale. The Carpenters. My Auntie Brenda.

Your Auntie Brenda drinks tea out of a mug, Ive seen her.

Rationale.

Sorry I'm useless with these but I am hoping someone can help me with this, does anyone remember in the 90s posh bottles in kitchens, I think it was oil with peppers in, but in oval shapes? I always used to think anyone who had show oil was practically best pals with the queen.
I mentioned it to DP last week and he doesn't remember seeing them anywhere. He said his grandmother had a bath oil she never used and it was a posh bottle.
If anyone knows what I'm on about and can tell me if they were posh I'd be grateful.

Also I think the bottle lid often had twine around it or a ribbon?

I’m currently wearing a bra that the dog stole out of the fresh washing pile and dumped in the garden this morning… I’m still living!

I give a shit when I’m face-down on my carpet in a yoga pose! (I just broke rule 34 above; talking about exercising. 🙈)

bag pipes

who the fuck thinks bagpipes are posh?

for that matter, who the fuck thinks they're common?

we're all just trying to stay out of the blast zone when piping is threatened

@Lwrenn BHS Christmas specials ( not posh)

Haha brilliant. I fully support your decision

The best toast in the world is made on an Aga, not some cheap disposable toaster ;)

OPs with typos or spelling and grammar errors in them.
