One of the poshest people I have ever met (remembering I have had the benefit of a public school education), was a lady I worked with who was from Northumberland.
Mind you, she and her husband did own about half of it.
(The north, especially the old money of Cheshire and Yorkshire, has its fair share of posh.)

Duke of Westminster is quite posh.
Or, Harrow Gate as some like to pronounce it.
What's the other way then?

What's the other way then?
Everyone in the North who doesn't live there pronounces it "aragit".
Apart from the Duchess of Devonshire, who has a lovely little misunderstood German chap to do it for her.

This 'North' of which you speak sounds such a quaint place, with it's jovial friendly locals and their peculiar customs. I was told recently that many of them simply refuse to have indoor water closets, and even electric light, preferring the homely glow of a candle.
I may buy part of it when I decide to retire.
Posh northern ladies tend to wear low-cut tops a lot, I've noticed. I approve wholeheartedly.

You live in Birmingham you might be able to buy a pie up here if your lucky.

Fortnum and Mason.

And don't think you can beat that because you can't so there.

I say, that Booths does look rather nice. Maybe moving up north wouldn't be quite so squalid! Taar!

I love Booths.
Hubby says I'm posh because I won't eat in the road.

How are we defining posh - money? manners? lineage? or do we mean folk who get out of the bath to have a wee?

Jim Bowen? He's posh for someone from Padiham!

I have a pet theory that the speed at which one loses their accent in different social surroundings is inversely proportional to their strength of character.
Applied to the OPs question, it is why the north is devioid of 'posh' (defined in this instance by the way they speak) people and full of 'characters' and the south is full of 'social chamelions' trying to be something that they are not!

Booths FTW! The north also features the poshest (and best) services in the country.
