Are you officially posh?

[stephec]

The only remaining signs of poshness in my life are 2 of my bikes wearing Brooks saddles. Why is that not on the DM list?

Considering their opinions on cyclists that might not be such a surprise.

I own a QUAD pre/power ergo I am posh

Seriously though I'm friends with the guy that owns this

He's even got a Deer Herd.

How posh though? What are you driving with them and how much per metre was your speaker cable?
😉🤣

I don’t think anyone on CC is posh, as everyone seems to continually talk about money.

However, one NEVER carries it!

I instruct my butler to make post about money on my behalf, so I appear more approachable for commoners: it Puts Them At Their Ease, donch'er know.

Of course, one sends the “boy” to the tradespeople with a note and they deliver. Not done to visit their place of trade in person. The account will be settled later

By the secretary, obviously.

Very few places actually taking cash at present.

I've got a pair of Bowers & Wilkins 602 S3 stood on £200 Atacama stands (made just down the road in Croft) and use normal QED 79 strand speaker cables (four wires to each speaker though as it is a 'bi-amped' set up)
They were originally 5 metres long but every couple of years I cut the ends off and bare another half inch or so to make fresh connections of un-oxidised copper.

The Turntable is quite posh too though, it's a highly modified Thorens with a 'Thorens' badged Rega RB250 fitted using a 'Stilton Audio' modified Nagaoka MP 11 Boron cartridge, it'd give most LP12's a run for their money.

You’ve been vulgar and mentioned money 💰

The whole money thing is a red herring I think. Sure, there are quite a few well-known exceptions (that's why they're well known) but most properly posh people aren't actually very wealthy in terms of disposable income, and most income-wealthy people aren't actually properly posh - they would just like to think they are.

My word is this some sort of fifth columnist?. I'll instruct my butler to tell the gamekeepter to release the hounds...

If you were properly posh, you would have referred to them as "nouveau riche"

Friend of mine knew one of them - trader in the City I think he was. He had beautifully hand-embroided cushions on his plush sofa bearing the legend: "Better nouveau riche than nouveau poor"
