A bit of silliness for Sunday morning
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/11396961/How-posh-are-you.html
Firmly U - better get the Bullingdon kit out of the mothballs and trunk!
as expected.......Common as muck
u here whatever that means.
U here
In the middle:
"Locally sourced", "bicycle lane", "it's pronounced keen-wah": sound familiar? That's cause you're a fully fledged member of the middle classes.
Who doesn't know how to pronounce quinoa? Jeez, it's like "Dr" Gillian never happened.
One is an U
"Bravo old chap, Bravo
Poshness may be getting a bad rep, but you're an out and out “U”, as Nancy (Mitford) would say."
I feel my U is rather worthless seeing as ton got the same 😛
Well that was enlightening.
Those getting U are possibly answering more aspirationally, than honestly 😀
Common as muck, whoop whoop.
No that's is (or should be) the giveaway. Aspirational choices very non U!!!
No napkin question......
did it again with a bit less aspiration in my mind.
sorry houns........still a u.
Common as muck "see you at Greggs"
As suspected, common as muck
Common as muck and happy with that. I work with some proper toffs and they're dickheads.
I was brought up with Mitford so no surprise I suppose:
Poshness may be getting a bad rep, but you're an out and out “U”, as Nancy (Mitford) would say.
thats a relief special brew and microwave dinners are ok for us posh people to have...U*
*One tried to be common 😉
Apparently one is a locally sourced, bicycle lane (hogging) quinoa munching MoFo baddass.
That's how I roll. In fair trade hemp socks, natch.
"In the Middle" apparantly.
Ooooookay then. Probably because I don't use the terms 'knockers' or 'puppies' (didn't have option of breasticles or boobies).
Common as muck apparently.
I thought this was determined by whether or not you get out of the bath to do a wee?

Ewe
Well of course I'm familiar with a bicycle lane.
Bath?
Out and out U. Mummy would be proud.
I'm not sure word usage is a very good indication of being posh anymore. Nor is knowing what Carlsberg Special is but not drinking it.
Here's an interesting article. How many U words do "common'` people use?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U_and_non-U_English
In the middle here, too - I think it was the stove top coffee pot and the craft beer what did it. I like to think my more common roots show through when I go to the loo before pudding.
I thought this was determined by whether or not you get out of the bath to do a wee?
Is it a bath or a baaaarth?
Loo and pudding are firmly U
In The Middle
I think this quiz could be reduced to one question:
Salad cream vs Helmans vs homemade Mayonnaise?
I did it twice, unhappy with being labelled "in the middle", I then got a U. 🙄
FFS! "When I were a lad, we ate gravel and lived in cardboard box in middle o' road, and we was 'appy,"
I've been called posh once a work because I said I was "going to have my lunch". 🙄
I'm in the middle which I sort of knew.
"I thought this was determined by whether or not you get out of the bath to do a wee?" When I was a kid I believed this phrase reflected the fact that our toilet was right next to our bath so you could stand up in the bath and wee straight into the toilet .
Not even a [i]common as muck[/i] for me, all i got was a knock at the door then i was dragged outside, thrown in the ditch, pulled out, thrown back in and told to know my place.
Gawd bless em….the most benevolent overseers…where would be without them.
"I thought this was determined by whether or not you get out of the bath to [s]do a wee[/s] use the toilet ?"
The telling response is "depends if I think it'll mash down the plughole easily"
Slap bang in the middle which is pretty accurate actually.
Loo and pudding are firmly U
In our house we generally refer to the act being carried out, rather than the receptical - "I need a piss", rather than "one is going to relieve oneself upon one's lavatory". And the g on the end of puddin' is usually missing.
🙂
"In the middle"
Where was the "who the hell eats asparagus by choice?" option?
Common as muck... Happy with that!
Or the "only eats asparagus because it makes their wee smell funny" option?
(Note to self: beetroot and asparagus salad)
I'm a reet scrater,don't even get out of bath for a p*ss 8O.
firmly bath for me, my parents came from Birkenhead but claimed it was actually WallaseyIs it a bath or a baaaarth?
as to baaaarth can cope with that sort of - but the kids had a book that rhymed scaaaarf with giraaaaafe - I listen carefully at the zoo
I'm as common as muck 🙁
Common as muck! And I eat my asparagus with a knife and fork. So much for 7 years university education. Social mobility my arse.
Muck common.
Sat havin' luncheon at work. Corned dog sandwiches and a bag of crisps.
🙂
"wild card"
I'm in the middle which I sort of knew.
"I thought this was determined by whether or not you get out of the bath to do a wee?" When I was a kid I believed this phrase reflected the fact that our toilet was right next to our bath so you could stand up in the bath and wee straight into the toilet .
I can do that in my current bathroom. The boys were well impressed. Herself less so.
"Locally sourced", "bicycle lane", "it's pronounced keen-wah": sound familiar? That's cause you're a fully fledged member of the middle classes.
Apparently I'm a ponce.
Common as muck. I guess there wasn't a lower category 🙂
I quite fancy a dry sherry. 🙂
hmm surprised that I'm common as muck, but I think thats just the blanket term for being a Northerner.
Well the middle class are on their way out - the future is the uber rich and the poor with nothing in the middle...
I haven't got time to read that now - I'll get the Butler to fill it in for me and report back.
😀
In the middle 🙂
Common as muck here too, ****3r5', taking out their bloody arses 😆
One came up as "common as muck".
One has never been so insulted.
In the middle? Rye Doe!
We’ll see you down Greggs, yeah?
Yes I suppose you will!
Middle apparently. Which I guess is pretty much accurate.
I'm Australian.
Posh is for sad Poms.
(Runs and hides 🙂 )
Middle here: which is surprising considering I was brung up working class.
But I was brung up proper.
So there.
(Surreptitiously scrapes quinoa into potted plant)
Sorry but that quiz - tiz a loadovkok.
Pass the Special Brew!
I obviously put that education to good use!
Posh is for sad Poms.
Sad then that Oz knighted Philip, no?
proud as **** to be common as muck! 😆
And the g on the end of puddin' is usually missing.
Mrs 10 has taken to mocking me for this.
Common as muck! Given I grew up in Henley on Thames daahling, one can only blame living in Australia for a few years for that.

"Posh is for sad Poms."Sad then that Oz knighted Philip, no?
Hell no, we're giggling at the pretentious prawn that dreamt that one up. I suspect HRH is too. 🙂
One is U, fortunately.
[i]Common as muck
We’ll see you down Greggs, yeah?[/i]
No surprise there. But I'm too classy for Greggs.
I'm a reet scrater,don't even get out of bath for a p*ss
But would you get out of the bath for a number two?
We’ll see you down Greggs, yeah?
I wouldn't be surprised if Greggs is behind this whole exercise. This is probably part of the PR for their move upmarket now that they've started putting dark wood and turned leg tables in their shops.
Posh as **** m8
I'm a U. Whatever that meant!
Middle for me, stovetop & craft beer probably lifted me up a bit.
