Is it posh to own a farm, and have a tennis court?

But myself aside, I have an absurdly embarrassing friend who has recently taken a degree in social climbing.

His name is Ashley, but to protect his identity we will just refer to him as Dale (because he looks like the orangey poofter). Young Dale decided that, not being content with his unimpressive social standing, he would take up as many posh hobbies as possible. He enrolled in a course in Rural Enterprise and Land Management so as to appear as though he has an estate to manage, took up shooting, spent £120 on wellies (yes, just one pair), and learned to ride.

I wouldn't be bothered if it wasn't for the fact he damn near shoots his council estate man-fat all over his second hand chinos every time he sees someone truly wealthy wearing the tweed of their trade.

Ah well, takes all sorts!
