She says they're real therefore they're real. She just know how to make 'em noticable thats all

Family tree dating back centuries
A title
A sailing yacht, powerboaters are never 'posh'
Big house with stables, a barn, paddocks etc

EDIT> Funny story. I was walking along a beach in Scotland with a friend from London and a friend who was visiting me from North Carolina. London girl was saying how she was by far the most 'posh' of all her schoolfriends and my American friend was like 'hmm, what do you mean? The only time I've heard that word used they were talking about a kind of w***ing'!!

I also agree that the use of the word 'posh' itself implies that you're beneath it, otherwise you just wouldn't comment.

What does a family tree have to do with being "posh"? Everyone has a family history and geneology is an increasingly popular hobby.

Well it's going to be pretty bloody vague if you're just a pleb.

 

[Zefan]

Surely thats simply correct prenounciation, not 'posh'

Richmond in Southwest London. Uber posh.

And subsequently full of *****

That place & the locals of Kensington & Chelsea.
+ anyone who sounds like Gwynneth Paltrow in Sliding Doors.

So only "posh" people get buried? You really do come out with some complete rubbish.

My idea of posh is those overly metrosexual people in their mid-20's that hang out spending all their mummy and daddies money with their shirt collars stuck up etc etc in expensive bars

Good point. Popped collars are definitely posh, or at the least faux-posh.

They make me angry.

Don't be silly - it stops your neck getting sunburnt on the yacht!

The usual giveaways are ownership of ponies/ horses or yachts.
You do get a lot of wannabe posh people though (although I have no idea why you would actively choose to appear to appear posher than you are). Usually seen wearing Ugg boots and pashminas with dyed-blonde hair (and that's just the blokes )
I don't think "posh" and "snobby" are mutually inclusive either- I generally find that its usually middle-aged/pension-aged women who think they're Hyacinth Bucket who are the worst offenders for looking down their noses at you for making the obvious cultural faux-pas of being under 35, male and not having an English accent when shopping in Waitrose/ M&S.
So as a general rule, posh people are OK as long as they aren't snobs

Can't believe I forgot to mention signet rings - the instant giveaway! (The proper ones, with a crest (not initials, little left on boys, little right on girls).
