Are you posh? Try the test...

According to the test in The Daily Mail today I am!


Have a guess which 3 I said yes to to qualify.

3, 5 & 11?

Mark Thompson said...

@JayceKay - Wrong on all 3 counts! At least that narrows down the field to 9 ;)

Bernard Salmon said...

I reckon 1, 7 and 12.
I was slightly surprised that I don't really qualify - I have two yesses and although I have been known to spend more than a tenner on a bottle of wine, I don't generally tend to.

Mark Thompson said...

One of those is right Bernard.

It's a snob test. Anyone who drives 4x4's round Towns & Cities are snobs. If you spend money on Barbours etc., you've more money than sense. Far better & cheaper waterproof makes out there. £5 pair of wellies do just as well as any "designer" makes. Am I "Posh"? No. Well bred yes...There's a difference.. ;}

Waitrose, Earl Grey and hummus? Those were my answers. I think I might know what prosecco is too: isn't it a apertif or something?

Mark Thompson said...

2/3 Tanya. Getting warmer!

Duncan Stott said...

Just 11 for me.

I'm going to say 2, 7, 13 for Mark.

Matthew Doye said...

5, 7, 12 for you. I'll give myself three and a half out of thirteen seeing as I don't drink actual tea.

I can't help thinking that everyone at the Mail involved with this scored highly and were having a good laugh at those who wouldn't meet their criteria.

Maybe it's part of some evil right wing plot, next week there'll be a number to call for those who scored less than three and then they'll be collecting details for a secret Daily Mail Brownshirt recruitment campaign.

p.s. Did you guess that I don't like the Mail much?

I am not going to guess mate but did you ever wonder why your nickname at school was 'Toffee'...?

Mark Thompson said...

Duncan S is bang on the money! He wins a Waitrose carton of houmous left in the fridge by my cleaner ;)

Daniel - I reckon you might also score 3 on here. I bet you own a Hackett or Barbour jacket for a start!

Duncan Stott said...

Wooooo!

I don't want your garlicky mulch though. Give it to the homeless. Let them eat houmous!

Here's a tip - if you're reading the Daily Mail, you're not posh.
