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

Miller & Carter is the equivalent of a Harvester, but for Évoque drivers instead of Vauxhall Zafira drivers

Calling it lighthearted doesn’t stop it being sneery.

Cruises. They used to be posh but most of them aren’t any more. Still bloody expensive though.

Like wot the queen had?🙄

Jo Malone

Stanley cups
Diffusers (your house smells)
French Bulldog
Fake grass
Prosecco
Weekend trip to New York

Using reflexive pronouns incorrectly.
I see it all the time on here.
“Myself and my husband…”

Cruises
RRs
Ascot
personalised plates
Turkey AI

Range rovers
LV bags
Cruises
Dubai
Lip fillers

You’ve, um, missed a joke there. Not the funniest ever, I’ll admit.

And Malcolm McLaren (Sex Pistols for benefit of youngsters). Was absolutely stunning. Was in a taxi and the police asked us to stop for it to go through.

Two for £28 in my local outlet.

People describing their back garden as the garden. "I'm in the garden"

Schools with nicknames (I dont know any, I see them in thread titles)

Pastry forks, gin & tonic, afternoon tea.

Since they closed Jenners and then the Queen died at Balmoral, it's all gone downhill.

Immaculate houses with matchy furniture sets.

HABS is an absolute dump.

Was that the body shop ones? Little erm, smelly balls? I'm sure they had a posher name than that 😂🙈
Oh gosh, I'm cringing writing this but if you mean those ones you could choose a few different colours in, my bloody mother told me they were free samples and I would just go in and casually take them. (Same with the little pens from argos). I wasn't subtle either, just pop in, spray some vanilla musk and take a couple of the balls!

Posh. I do not think that word means what you think it means.

I am both confused and amused by this thread! 😊

Nobody believes these are ‘posh’.

Are we just naming things that ‘common’ people say/like now?

I do not get the obsession with class on Mumsnet, thread after thread about it.

Try and respect everyone whether they live in a run down council flat or an old estate in the country. People like different things, shocker. This constant sneering at other people is really not nice, ‘lighthearted’ or not.

Far, far too serious most of you. You almost sound as if you are reading this thread attentively.

People aren't asking you to take your shoes off to be posh, it's because they don't want crap tracked all over the house.

I presume the non-royal sort (in white and gold) is mimicking the royal sort but ending up all Katie Price.

FYI - a sense of humour is now back in fashion
