A bit of silliness for Sunday morning

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/11396961/How-posh-are-you.html

Firmly U - better get the Bullingdon kit out of the mothballs and trunk!

In the middle:

"Locally sourced", "bicycle lane", "it's pronounced keen-wah": sound familiar? That's cause you're a fully fledged member of the middle classes.

Who doesn't know how to pronounce quinoa? Jeez, it's like "Dr" Gillian never happened.

One is an U

"Bravo old chap, Bravo
Poshness may be getting a bad rep, but you're an out and out “U”, as Nancy (Mitford) would say."

Those getting U are possibly answering more aspirationally, than honestly 😀

No that's is (or should be) the giveaway. Aspirational choices very non U!!!

No napkin question......

Common as muck and happy with that. I work with some proper toffs and they're dickheads.

I was brought up with Mitford so no surprise I suppose:

Poshness may be getting a bad rep, but you're an out and out “U”, as Nancy (Mitford) would say.

Apparently one is a locally sourced, bicycle lane (hogging) quinoa munching MoFo baddass.
That's how I roll. In fair trade hemp socks, natch.

"In the Middle" apparantly.

Ooooookay then. Probably because I don't use the terms 'knockers' or 'puppies' (didn't have option of breasticles or boobies).

I thought this was determined by whether or not you get out of the bath to do a wee?

Out and out U. Mummy would be proud.

I'm not sure word usage is a very good indication of being posh anymore. Nor is knowing what Carlsberg Special is but not drinking it.

Here's an interesting article. How many U words do "common'` people use?

In the middle here, too - I think it was the stove top coffee pot and the craft beer what did it. I like to think my more common roots show through when I go to the loo before pudding.

In The Middle

I think this quiz could be reduced to one question:
Salad cream vs Helmans vs homemade Mayonnaise?

I did it twice, unhappy with being labelled "in the middle", I then got a U. 🙄

FFS! "When I were a lad, we ate gravel and lived in cardboard box in middle o' road, and we was 'appy,"

I've been called posh once a work because I said I was "going to have my lunch". 🙄

I'm in the middle which I sort of knew.
"I thought this was determined by whether or not you get out of the bath to do a wee?" When I was a kid I believed this phrase reflected the fact that our toilet was right next to our bath so you could stand up in the bath and wee straight into the toilet .

Not even a [i]common as muck[/i] for me, all i got was a knock at the door then i was dragged outside, thrown in the ditch, pulled out, thrown back in and told to know my place.

Gawd bless em….the most benevolent overseers…where would be without them.

"I thought this was determined by whether or not you get out of the bath to [s]do a wee[/s] use the toilet ?"

The telling response is "depends if I think it'll mash down the plughole easily"

Slap bang in the middle which is pretty accurate actually.

Loo and pudding are firmly U

In our house we generally refer to the act being carried out, rather than the receptical - "I need a piss", rather than "one is going to relieve oneself upon one's lavatory". And the g on the end of puddin' is usually missing.

"In the middle"

Where was the "who the hell eats asparagus by choice?" option?

Or the "only eats asparagus because it makes their wee smell funny" option?

(Note to self: beetroot and asparagus salad)
