Hi
Once it was easy to identify the upper classes - they were all titled, lived in stately homes and had their own staff. But these days the net seems to be cast far wider.
Do you pass the Posh Test? If you answer Yes to 3 or more of these questions, you are definitely posh.
1. Do you own an old, dirty car that reeks of dog (preferably Labrador)?
2. Do you refer to any place outside London as “the country”?
3. Do you address your parents as Mummy and Daddy – even though you’re no longer 10?
4. Do you wince when you see people holding a knife like a knitting needle?
5. Did you spend your teenage summers in Rock, Cornwall?
6. Do you think tweed is a good look?
7. Do you call your Grandmother “Granny” instead of “Nan”, “Gran”, or “Grandma”?
8. Did you take a gap yah?
9. Have you ever flicked through the back pages of Tatler looking for pictures of your friends?
10. Do you hang out with people called Doodles, Flippy and Tadpole?
11. Do you go to the ballet/opera?
12. Do you have a cleaner?
13. Do you wear clothing brands such as Hackett and Barbour?
14. Do you have an interest in horses/sailing?
15. Do you spend over £10 on a bottle of wine?
16. Do you still tell people which school you went to?
17. Do you shop at Waitrose?
18. Do you say supper instead of dinner?
19. Do you have an Aga?
20. Do you greet people with a kiss on both cheeks?
21 Do you drink Earl Grey/ specialist teas?
22. Do you know what Prosecco is or eat hummus?
According to this, I am posh, ( Yes to 4,11, and 20 ) but on another test;

I am only 27% Posh, so that's not too bad!

Thank you, rehab. I will accept that as a compliment
Maybe I could employ you to carry my bag, Victoria Beckham style :?:

I didn't answer yes to any of them! Does this mean I'm common? I quite like that idea

PS - am tugging my forelock to the rest of you on here, didn't realise I was amongst the upper classes!0 -

Blimey Rehab, they broke the mold when they made you, didn't they?

How accurate is it, Rehab :?: Perhaps you are 37% Posh, and 63% Pikey0

This is me, apparently! And it's NOT true!
You are definately entering the danger zone here. You have owned at sometime in your life a pet fish won from a funfair. You regularly buy Superdrug's own brand toiletries but ensure you carry them home in a Clinique carrier bag. You have a number of gold cards and run a respectable enough car, however, you would do well to remove the "Baby on board" sticker from the back. You enojy good food and wine courtesy of Delia Smith's home cookery course and have been to University.

I answered yes to 10 of Joan's questions and scored 67% on the posh test. B***er me - who'd a thunk it? DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

I is a pikey :shock:
I like being a pikey
I is a wee bit posh too though :oops:0 -
Which bit's posh then? And how much is chav? Oh frog, you do make me laugh! DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Well 10 - my kids have a friend they call 'flick'... :roll:

32 35 2nd 39
Think overall more pikey
Hang on a mo...
Is there a 'Wino' test???0 -
It seems that I am thoroughly confused, according to Joan's list I am posh and I scored 40% on the other one............on the other hand according to the pikey test, there is no hope for me...............
Annie0 -
Well I scored 4 on the first one. I I used to be posh when younger but have lightened up in my old age.

So you are an ex-Posh. Your poshness has ceased to be0 -
Indeed Joan I fear she had desisted from poshness
She is now devoid :shock:0 -
Right, I've done the pikey one and scored 2. I like the idea of a can of 'larger' tho (21). DD (who has yet to try tramp juice, must get around to that)Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

A matter of sadness to me is that I can no longer wear my navy blue Hunter wellies: my ankles don't allow me to get them on! I have had to resort to flowery ones (Cath Kidston looky-likies) from QD, pretty yes, but not the same. Forget high heels, I hanker after lovely pink Hunters, or the pale blue ones decorated with lavender. Never mind, there are more important things in life, apparently. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Our kitchen's too small for a table. But if we had one then, yes, probably would have a waxed cloth on it. Very practical! DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0
