PoshMy dad's family are posh - there's at least one knight and an ex-lord mayor of london. My mum's family come from Staines.
How posh are you? Who's the poshest person you've met? Be proud and tell us your poshest moments.

Not posh at allIn fact, people only ever call me sir at the end of the sentence "I think you should leave..."
So, it comes as a bit of a shock to find myself working in Japan, where everybody bows at you and treats you like some sort of towering Western god. They bow at you. They bow at your held-together-by-hairy-string luggage, and when the phone rings, they bow at that as well.
So classy was the hotel they put me in (the Westin Tokyo, $200/night), you couldn't do anything without some flunky popping up to do it for you. I drew the line at the toilet attendant, stealing the slippers and "The Teachings of Buddha" (placed by the Japanese version of the Gideons) before fleeing the country.
