This is a question Posh

My 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.

Swearing at random strangers
Preferably at railway stations / foreign airports.

This I do for kicks. God and my one-60th-of-Shropshire-owning family, plus of course good old sphincter-stretching public school inflicted on me a completely ridiculous accent. I tried to shake it, but couldn't and now can't be arsed. Especially when I'm drunk I say things like "haice" for "house", "ears" for "yes" and "nehho certainly bloody nort" for "no". I know the ghastly middle-class despises swearing, so whenever I meet an example I cannot stop myself from saying fuck repeatedly, even if it's interviewing me for a job. I love watching in its face the conflict between the desperate urge to doff-cap or tug-forelock and the equally shrill and impetuous desire to inflict upon me its petty, conceited and ghastly little set of values. Canting ruining drivelling snotty bastards.

I can't remember the last time I made myself a meal that wasn't breakfast. I have huge debts because I buy most of my meals at the various eateries of the Fulham road. Also I can't remember the last time I washed any of my clothes. Apart from funerals/weddings, I don't think I've worn a suit since my finals. I get a stiffy when I kill defenseless animals. My father is a baronet and I'm the younger brother so I won't inherit. Fucks me off, that. Fucking "Mr.", indeed, just like some ghastly fat plebeian peonic pick-up-truck-driving shaven-headed squat ugly builder.

This set of attributes and what the odious middle-classes call "value-judgements", and an ancestry that goes back a few hundred years before 1066 means I am as posh as I am repulsive and as aristocratic as I am physically dirty and mentally unhinged.
