The poshest county in the UK?

[Eyes98]

Which one county would you say is the outright poshest in the UK? Let’s not use Greater London here, and I know there will be social diversity in all, but which would you say is the poshest overall?
I’m going with Berkshire, darling.😂

That's been going on since the 50s. Everyone I went to school with, their parents had moved out from London and that was in the 70s and 80s.

Oxfordshire and ignore the Town itself especially the pretentiousness of Summertown, (parts of)

I would say Surrey or Bucks. But I used to live in high wycombe which is a crud hole. Even in chesham there are some rough estates. Aylesbury is another dreadful place that looks superficially quite 'naice.'

Least posh probably south Yorkshire/Lincolnshire or whatever they call the county with Middlesbrough in it?

What do you mean by 'posh'?
If it's 'new money' rich people who have a couple of generations of wealth created from 'trade' then they aren't the same 'posh' as 'old money' landed estate families.

The former might be more concentrated around the home counties with easy access to London.

Many of the latter have roots in counties with prime agricultural land and profitable tenanted farms. They often have a town house in London too.

Bucks or Herts

Wherever Windsor is?

Yes

Definitely not. Windsor and Slough basically form a continuous metropolitan area.

But Barton is lovely 😁

Sutherland

Cambridgeshire is a hole!

Cornwall has to win the award for most snooty

Surrey most pretentious

The "rough" parts of Oxford are as good as it gets elsewhere.

Norfolk

If you split them West Kent isn't that dissimilar to Surrey, but it's still not top tier. From someone who grew up in West Kent then moved East.

Norfolk. Lots of royals including the King at Sandringham.

Define "posh". Are we talking old money or those nasty arrivistes?

Find it fascinating that pretty much all of your posts are questions @Eyes98 . Can see you're on housewife capital of the UK this morning, too. Feels very researchy. If you were knocking some column filling dross for one of those very unposh women's mags! 🤣🤣

Obviously Surrey

Cheshire is not in the Midlands!

And the poll is rigged.

And to everyone saying 'Bucks' I have one word for you
Slough
So bad Bucks pretends it's in Berks, and even Berks doesn't want it

Having relocated from Middlesbrough to Cheshire, I can confirm that it’s definitely posher.. and more expensive!

Whether it’s fully posh I don’t know, since I clearly originate from the slums 😂

I am surprised by how widely known it apparently is that Boro is “rough,” I always thought we were basically an unknown place on a map!

Bucks is not posh.

Hampshire or Dorset.

Oxfordshire. It can’t be Bucks. It doesn’t have enough private schools. Lots of people move there for the grammars.

I had to look up where Coke Lane was as I used to work in Little Chalfont. Yeah I used to drive down there to work sometimes to avoid going through Amersham having come via the back of Chequers when they were building the Wendover bypass. Never knew what it was called

There are some absolutely stunning properties around there and Chalfont St Giles

Much the same tbf

It doesn't really contain the wealth or the fanciness of the Cotswolds. Outside the city itself, there's a fair number of rural towns and villages with lack of opportunity. Some of the towns are nice but overall nit posh.
