There are posh cars... 50 year old Landover Defenders, umm, that's about it.

turgiday · 10/05/2014 17:00

There arent lots of BMW's where I live. You must all live in very posh areas.

TequilaMockingbirdy · 10/05/2014 17:01

Golfs are for boy racers
Audi tt's are women cars, usually hairdressers, financed.
Mini's are for the posh girls/boys who still live with their parents

In my world anyway that's what they are/remind me of Grin

That true Mrs TP.

It was snobbish neighbour who said it was a posh car, not me. Or DH! The other BMW is a long thing? Used the have a mucky springer spaniel in it and was always muddy as they went ........pheasant shooting! Does that make him slightly posh as he belongs to a 'shoot'?

That depends- did he wear camo or corduroys and a sports coat? Grin

Drug dealers use stolen push bikes round here.

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 10/05/2014 17:06

Sorry that was in response to the "is he posh cos he went shooting" comment Grin

MrsTerryPratchett · 10/05/2014 17:08

Blu you live in a naice area then...

Sneezecakesmum · 10/05/2014 17:08

If it's the posh shoot, it's all the tweeds! If it's pigeons in the farmers fields it's a filthy old cammy jacket!

Ah I see. Neighbour thinks BmWs are posh and your H is common. Neighbour is wrong, and dim, and def not posh.

Common is such an unpleasant thing to call someone.

Sneezecakesmum · 10/05/2014 17:10

Apart from drug dealing I suppose

MrsTP - But I do live within walking distance of a branch of Jigsaw. The semiotics of class are very complex in S London Wink

thornrose · 10/05/2014 17:11

Whoops, sorry someone said that ages ago Blush

CoteDAzur · 10/05/2014 17:11

"Are there any proper posh cars then? "

Where we live, "posh cars" are convertible Bentleys, Bugattis, and Lamborghinis.

What a peculiar thread even by AIBU standards.

Do you address people as "sweetie" in RL?
