How do you define someone as being posh?

My mum always had wanted to give the appearance of being posh but never quite managed it.
What words you call your meals with regard to time of day is a good one.
At the middle of the day do you have "dinner" or "lunch" or in the evening "supper" instead of "tea." Pudding or dessert etc.

Oh, and like some friends of ours - having a 'morning room'.

sorry, try again, I should have got the manservant to do the link for me:

petra is posh


Actually, drinking from a small china cup is posh, we have mugs (china of course).

Using starched napkins instead of paper ones
Having a 'library' and not just a bookshelf or even a study
Having a 'woman who does' (instead of doing your own cleaning, unless you are unable to do it, of course). And she has to be called 'a woman who does', not 'the cleaner'.

Apparently, I am an out and out 'U'!

Have you ever seen a 'posh' person eat a pickled onion?

I can't believe that anyone actually uses the word posh anymore.
Most of the things mentioned are just common sense or personal taste.
Your little finger automatically points up when drinking from a small China cup.
I always use a fork for cake. I hate sticky fingers.
If you do eat rolls with your dinner, where else are you going to put the roll, on the table?
Who puts bottles of sauce on the table?

I was taught it was vulgar to extend your pinkie when drinking eg from a china cup, so that’s definitely not posh!

But I never use the term posh and I don’t think it has a place in today’s society.

Sorry NanKate

Not keeping coal in the bath!

I know someone who puts her sauce (of the HP and Heinz variety) into little dishes, and always wears matching underwear. She's posh.

I dont ever define anyone as being POSH ,just different from me .I did go to college with a woman who said she was "middle class" because she had a washing machine and a fridge freezer ..which the rest of the class thought was hilarious ..mind you I dont believe in "class" either

When my friends husband told me they had plates for their rolls at dinner each night now that’s posh
