what has an adequate education got to do with being posh Confused

are you really saying GCSE's are only for ladies what lunch?

SecretNutellaFix · 26/01/2011 15:58

ME for a start. I have a couple of good gcse's but that is it. I delibebratly failed my a-levels so mum wouldn't have to worry about the costs of university.

However, I am quite well read, articulate and take an interest in the world around me. If I don't know, I will go find out.

I work in a dead end job, and dh and I are trying for our first baby.

Being educated is part of being middle class though innit?
Most people on here been to uni and everyfin.

Not many of the proper working class mums wot I meet at my school on 'ere.

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 26/01/2011 16:00

you taking the piss now wonderstuff?

GMajor7 · 26/01/2011 16:00

No.

GMajor7 · 26/01/2011 16:01

It is perfectly possible to be working class, or to have been raised on a council estate and to be intelligent and articulate.

You are talking shite.

waitwhat · 26/01/2011 16:03

I grew up im Basingstoke too innit! Live in Reading now which is just as rough.[bgrin]

waitwhat · 26/01/2011 16:04

wonderstuff · 26/01/2011 16:05

Would I?
[shrugs]
I don't believe I said that being raised on a council estate = dumb and inarticulate.

wonderstuff · 26/01/2011 16:06

No waitwhat surely Reading is much rougher?

waitwhat · 26/01/2011 16:08

I think so wonder. I live 5 mins from the centre and it can get hairy!
I certainly felt a little safer wondering round Baso than here

Bunbaker · 26/01/2011 16:09

Hi walkinZombie
I'm just up the road from you near sunny Barnsley, and I'm not posh either. I had never heard of Boden until I started reading mumsnet.

waitwhat · 26/01/2011 16:09

And i miss festival place *sniff

wonderstuff · 26/01/2011 16:13

I remember Baso before festival place - was well rough then! I do have John Lewis envy - have to visit Reading every now and then to get my haberdashery fix.

mumbar · 26/01/2011 16:17

Nah not posh here - from ust outside Portsmouth. I'd never heard of Boden before here either. Still don't actually know - think its clothes though??

wonderstuff · 26/01/2011 16:18

Don't pretend mumbar

Hullygully · 26/01/2011 16:21

I am extraordinarily posh, but I don't tell people or make a fuss about it because I want to fit in.

wonderstuff · 26/01/2011 16:25

I aspire to be posh (ave a posh ouse at least)
innit

wonderstuff · 26/01/2011 16:26

I am poor yet classy

TallulahdoesthehulainHawaii · 26/01/2011 16:41

I don't even aspire to be posh, just ordinarily scummy would do Smile
