My Ex OH always said that was me!!!

Because I wanted to

Have a nice home
Buy our own home (did not do this until we parted!)

;-)

But as I talk with a broad South London accent, his comments fell somewhat short....

I was beginning to be worried, 2% posh me being the bottom of the barrel hereabouts by far ... but Shirley has hit rock bottom at 0% so I can show my face ... must have been that knowing how to ride a horse that saved me from total chavness ... chaviness ... ? I shall have to re-examine my choices in life now I think ...

hm, like my tall dude ... I watch/play no sports at all, but football is his sport of choice so I had to answer honestly that I watch it (or at least I am in the same room as it) ... so plainly he dragged me into the gutter I think

Believe it or not, I have been to polo matches.

Not posh at all!

They were in the bush (not quite the outback).... definitely not "country gentlemen" lol

They rode like madmen, screaming & swearing..... it was mayhem! I was amazed no-one was seriously injured or killed.

I'm gutted I was as high as 23% :-( :-(

That high?

precisely

Why gutted? Isnt that a case of inverse snobbery?

It doesn't matter what labels a quizz or other people assign to us......for better or worse, we are who we are. :-D

Absolutely spot on DetEcTive !

I agree that we are who we are, but, it should not deter anyone from wanting to improve their lives.
There is more snobbery in the so called working classes than in the gentry.

I didn't have to do a test to know that I am not a snob, never have been and never will be - my family were very poor, but my upbringing was good - I had to answer "no" to most of the questions in that quiz

The quiz!!!!

5. If you went out in public would you were...

Someone obviously didn't attend any school :-P

My late brother's wife was an utter snob. Yes they were worth £millions had a wonderful life (until he started drinking) appeared in very posh country life magazines BUT her Mother used to clean for my sister in law and one business meeting at the country pile she was still cleaning when the people arrived for the meeting.

My SIL stepped around her Mother and told the businessmen 'please the excuse the cleaner, she should have been finished by now'.

She was so rude to everyone she was even thrown out of one of the best Hotels in the world for being damn insulting to waiting staff.

Money doesn't equate to class...lololol

she sounds charming - a perfect partner for someone on here :-D

Where is the link to do the quiz please?

Errol not sure if 'Chav' is from the Romany, but they use the term 'chavi' for a child.
At least the ones living on same caravan site as us did, in the early' 70's

Kids went to school with a Tickle, pronounced Tickell. OH worked with a Chapel, pronounced Shappell!

Get her!

:-D :-D :-D

Ann she is the one I posted about years ago on here who was suing an airport because she tripped up, hurt her foot and couldn't wear all of her 200 pairs of shoes....utterly charming NOT!!!

She told me not to marry himself because he wasn't of my class nor had enjoyed an equivalent education!!!!!! I was TOLD to have fun with him but no more........my brother supported me :-D

there is hope ... I scored 33% on this one :-)

I do have a mantelpiece ... but it's standing on end somewhere at the back of the garahhj :-D

Thanks JoonieCloonie.
I'm 17 percent posh :-D

Just did one as I know my Mrs Bucket would answer it, she got 23 percent but she would have lied to try to be posh. :-P
