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 think that actually makes you quite posh. But to be sure, can you describe both the bra, and the garden... ?

Stanley Cups
Lululemon
DryRobes in a city with no nearby body of water
The Ivy
Bottomless Brunch
Grey crushed velvet
the colourful highland cow painting

Maybe I used the wrong phrase fair enough but people on here do use it for those they feel are beneath them see also a bit council.

Still tasty! But not posh

Do you really think that an M&S food shop is tacky? Why?

Funerals with carriages and horses.

When I first saw a door bow down our street, full of smallish terraced houses, I naively thought a kind relative had gifted a family member a house. Then the door bow became a lot more common and I realised it was just a christmas decoration. Bloody awful too!

Designer handbags and coats with the logos plastered on front to ensure everyone knows it’s mega bucks and therefore “posh”
John Lewis
Designer make up.
Balyage
Acrylics
Having a Waitrose carrier bag in your car - even though it’s full of Aldi goods. But god it looks posh.

Door wreaths no longer just at Christmas! You can now buy that plastic shit for spring, summer, and autumn too!

'I am especially Impressed with Molton Brown hand soap'

That resonates with me. My daughter worked in a high end commercial law firm and came home utterly disgusted.because the firm was trying to make economies and had replaced
Molton Brown handwash in the Ladies with Yardley. 'I mean, Yardley!' she wailed distraught.
The times are hard indeed.

I have an outside TV - I get into my outdoor pool, lie on my outdoor lilo and watch Wimbledon (for example) on my outside TV. It is bloody brilliant and I wouldn't swap my life for a bunch of people sneering at me!

I really laughed at the mental image that created re hanky on head!

🤣
✌🏻😎

Nooooo!!! I genuinely had built them up to be something really special.
Like an heirloom 😂
Like when your nanny had a special cup you couldn't use, you had special oil absolutely nobody could use.
Still, at least I didn't make them up lol!

Using the word "posh".
Having a "spotless" house.

I know someone who does door bows every Christmas in her favourite football teams colours...with matching tree.

omg

Are you the original @CraigBrown or just masquerading as CB? I did like the book about Princess Margaret/Ma'am BTW.

🤣🤣

Saying dessert instead of pudding.

Saying lavatory instead of toilet.

Oh, and asking people to remove their shoes at the door because you're more bothered about your carpets than the comfort of your guests.
Having a (large) TV in your sitting room.

😄😄

Eh? I think you’ve missed the point of the thread.

No one in a million years considers a hen night crown to be posh do they? Hen dos, plastic willies, cowboys hats and all that shit has always been considered naff and tacky, even by chavs. That’s kind of the point of it.

Similarly the John McEnroe trick…have you read the title of the thread? How is that something that is considered to be posh, which you actually think is common??

Other people have hit the nail on the head with hot tubs, wine coolers, personalised number plates etc.

Snobbery ' is incidentally not something that ' posh' people concern themselves with

Haha, actually they take class very seriously. In their interest to keep the feudal system innit.

Toilet roll holders

Guest slippers?! 🤢🤢🤢🤢

That would get robbed round my way!
