Dare one take the Charles Moore poshometer test?

[swee'pea99]

From today's Guardian:
"Certainly Moore, known in Private Eye as Lord Snooty, is as archetypal as they come. In his Who's Who entry he lists hunting as his sole recreation and once entertainingly wrote about the things he has never done: "I have never eaten a product of McDonald's, drunk Coca-Cola, seen The Sound of Music, watched EastEnders or Coronation Street, worn a T-shirt (as an adult), or been to Disneyanything. I have never bought myself any equipment for playing music, or any musical record, CD or tape, never set a video, or attended a professional football rugby or cricket match, never had a gin and tonic, sewn on a button, lain on a sunbed, carved a joint or changed a wheel."

I make that 20 things he's never done - thus proving his poshness to a quite astonishing level - of which I have done all but two (to whit, watched EastEnders or Coronation Street).

Mind you, I'd be amazed if any actual human managed more than half a dozen or so.

seen The Sound of Music, been to Disneyanything. attended a professional football rugby or cricket match, lain on a sunbed, "

I've not done the above, assuming it means the whole of the Sound of Music (I've accidentally seen the last quarter of an hour a few times), and assuming 'sunbed' means a toasting thing, not just a lounger...

I reckon he'd be a dab hand at 'taking the bra off a debutante from the back' ...

The Earl Marmoset has instructed me, his butler, to complete this quiz on his behalf and to remind people that members of the aristocracy do not stoop to completing tests.

'attended a professional football rugby or cricket match'

That's the only one I've never done. In my defence, the only reason I've watched Eastenders is because my mum used to watch it, so it was watch it or leave the room...

[QUOTE 2418015, member: 9609"]don't think I have ever had a mcdonalds
never watched sound of music (may have seen bits)
have never followed any storyline in any soap
never been to Disneyanything
never had a gin and tonic
never sewn a button on
never lain on a sunbed (have lain in the sun but never on a sunbed).
never carved a joint (smoked a few)

but probably the most astonishing thing about my existence is - have never cooked a meal (can do toast and porridge), and never ever bought an item of clothing (apart from footwear), or ever washed any clothing![/quote]
But ...






... you are only 14 years old?

 

[deanE]

Done all those but never gone hunting. If that makes me common as muck then so be it.

 

[Archie_tect]

Never been hunting either, been to any cricket match [yawn], never seen Eastenders [barf], never laid on a sun-bed.

 

[accountantpete]

Not done Disneyland or Rugby.

Have watched Eastenders (the episode when Dirty Den returned) and Corrie (the episode where Jack Duckworth was posing as Vince StClair in a video)

 

[Hover Fly]

Does changing a wheel include exchanging a bicycle hub dynamo wheel for a normal hub wheel? If so that's the only one on that list I've done (but I have drunk other brands of aniseed and liquorice flavoured fizzy drinks). But can raise him; never been in a cinema or worn denim jeans.
I am in fact as common as muck, just odd.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Fuggin bully for him but he just comes across as a right nobber.

 

[shouldbeinbed]

I've done 14 of them & I'm currently sat here watching sport on telly in my shorts, with my tattooed legs on show, eating cold rice pudding out of the tin having just extolled the virtues of Aldi stuff.

where's all the debutantes at?

*I've also found porn mags in a lay-by*

 

[TheDoctor]

Posh? I reckon he's just an incompetent twat.
And almost certainly a nobber, to boot.

 

[colly]

He might be as posh as they come but he sounds f***ing boring.

I'm too middle class to give a fcuk ....
