    This is why we can't have nice things.
    Is it too much to ask to just have a light-hearted thread.

    In fairness it's not a patch on the rough areas thread.

    The rough areas thread is a tad too real for a lot of the delicate sensibilities around here.

    You'd think that but my comment seemed to have hit a raw nerves. Not that I disagree with some of the rough thread.

    I might have a different view of posh but to me posh is well read and intelligent.

    Honestly can't tell is this serious or tongue in cheek. What posh person says "Birhay pahhies". Thats either Offaly farmer or Dublin Northsider or some form of Scouser.

    An awful lot of you seem to be describing arseholes, not posh people.
    If you live in an estate, you're not posh. Unless the estate has a few hundred acres.
    If you drive the newest car, you're not posh
    If your house has less than 10 rooms, you're not posh.
    Sons and daughters of people that work in kpmg need to get a grip. You're not posh, you're wealthy assholes.

    Would you say your definition of posh is 'Old Money' ?

    Proper posh is a filthy Land Rover with 2 bikes strapped to the back and an old Volvo estate with a canoe attached to the roof.
    Mothers buying a head of rocket and toasted garlic croutons in the local deli wearing 30 year old jodhpurs mucky riding boots and a cheesecloth blouse granny bought in Zwitzers in 1978

    The residents don't act the gobsh|te or douchbag to adversaries, instead they act prurient, aloof and ignore them and exclude them from their cliques.

    In the event of legal dispute between different residents of such neighbourhood the case will be heard in court , unless one party offers a solid monetary " out of court settlement". Solicitors for either party will be from renouned, respected firms.

    Too right....

    There is posh & then there is landed gentry posh.... different level altogether.

    The landrover probably won't be brand new.... but you don't become & stay generationally posh by blowing all your cash.

    Wicklow is ground zero for this top tier posh.

    Agreed about the land rover. Usually has 1980s number plate and windyup windows and the smell of 4 generations of wet Labrador permeating throughout
    I don't mind these people at all
    They generally are too classy to be snobbish and take people as they find them.
