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.

Not common at all but...Apparently, on my Mum's side of the family we have Dick Whittington (you know, thrice mayor of London bloke) and Benedict Arnold (blokey who sold the English army down the river in the American War of Independence). Obviously both of these chaps have been worm food for some time.
I can't call myself posh but I got a beating if I dropped my h's and t's when I was a nipper. All that means is that people now think that how I speak is a function of being privately educated rather than coming from a shitehole of a town on the edge of the Cotswolds (Chipping Norton, if you give a toss).
The poshest person I've met (apart from Prince Charles, who has a penchant for fucking old mares) is possibly my Gran, who was part of 'society' in the 1920's and was a debutante.
Apparently the phrase 'Rags to riches and back again in three generations' is ideally suited to our family.
