Posh to the extent of northern-ness snobbery
I was round my friends house once when her mum decided to come and join us for a chat. She recognised that my accent wasn't the native northamptonian (as in I can say "th" and I don't say grarse) and asked where I was from. I replied "I'm from up north, near york". Her reply, in the poshest voice ever, was "but it's not as north as durham, is it? Not really northern". I've never met someone trying to be more northern than me. And their house was worth a fucking fortune too, they had speakers built into the roof and other such wonders.
