This lady's idea of posh is probably Hyacinth Bucket; class is only an issue if you think about it that way. Even the Queen needs to go to the toilet lavatory.

Thank you. Savages!

fixed that for you

That's not what posh is. If you didn't have a reverse chip on your shoukder, you'd be able to see that. You've described bling, or nouveau riche, not posh.

Agreed. Although "posh" people indeed wouldn't describe themselves as "posh", I believe they would consider themselves discreet, respectful of others, well-educated, reasonably cultured and probably speaking the Queen's English... being wealthy or not would not be a criterion.

It seems to me that you forgot "patronizing" on your list.

How was any of that patronising?
What has patronising even got to do with being posh anyway?

The tone of your post, to me at least, seemed to be quite patronising.

It's not my first language though, so if you didn't mean it that way never mind my comment.
