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.

Ex Bird
My first girlfriend (when I was 14; she was 16! woo me!) was from a pretty posh family. Her Dad was a surgeon in Sheffield and earned around £95k a year; her Mum was a personell manager at some big company and earned about £50k a year. The ex gf used to earn £50 a week on her part time job and get £100 per week on savings. Her dad gave her £8k when she went to Uni.

Could have had this for last week's QOTW- but their parents had apprently had only eaten take away food once, and had never had fish and chips. I said "bloody hell, someone would think you were one of those southern, Tory pansies" to which I found out that her dad was from London and went to Cambridge uni. Also, he read the Daily Torygraph.

Last I heard of the lass was that she was spending about £100 a week sticking snow up her nose. Too posh for my liking!

Kebab please!

/edit Oh yeah and about four years ago they bought a house in Southport- same street as Steven Gerrad, for £750k and paid the first £500k as a deposit!

/edit II- I also met Charles Clarke last year (just before he became Home Sec.) Since I was one of two politics students at my college, I was asked if I wanted to do a radio interview about Labour's policies and the election campaign that was about to start. I said that I thought New Labour's policies were moving far towards the right and that they are doing all in their power to limit free speech in the country! I have never experienced a moment of irony so much as to when the Radio 1...bloke said to me "Charles Clarke asked me not to include what you said". He did though and I was on the radio! Harr!!! Don't suppose he's seen as terribly posh but he was! Certainly more posh than my Leeds Comprehensive schoolbuddys and I.
