PoshMy 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.

Shotguns - You know, guns that fire shotsMy grandad (Capt. Pappers) was in his day v. posh and well connected amongst the denizens of Leicester. Had a good war etc. He's always worth a story or two, anyway:
Anyway, along comes my Dad, Mr. Pappers and his expensive education consisted of being ejected from several posh schools, along with a large bill for repairs, to the despair of his parents.
In the spirit of revenge for all such things, and perhaps with a view to keeping the Pappers bloodline alive, Capt. Pappers decided that when he could no longer safely wield his v. expensive handcrafted shotguns, he would rather give them away - free - than let his troublesome son get his mitts on them.
Is it posh that I nearly had shotguns as an heirloom ?
Legend has it, they were very very nice shotguns.
