Only if you attempt to Govern a country and fiddle your expenses to clear wisteria.

STFU - you wore a Gillet to the pub the Serpentine Boardsailing Club AGM last week.

I know you tried to hide it, but we saw it.  

North Face t**ser.

I went to the school that Shirley Robertson went to. It was the best state high school in the county, out of three.
 
The other two were right s***holes...
 
I now wear a gillet.

Oh, Al. Buying a gilet - is that social climbing?

What a load of rubbish being posted on this thread!  Given the way you lot have stereotyped posh people, I would probably fall into that bracket, but that doesn't mean I don't speak to people at the club, or elsewhere, for that matter who aren't 'posh'.  Half the time I don't even know their surname, let alone their job, status or how many millions or not they have.  We talk because we have a common interest.  Am I unusual in judging people for who they are?
What could possibly go wrong?

The art of champagne social analysis (left leaning), is to remain suitably aloof and distant from the area under discussion.  Suggesting you probably fail into the bracket is just not the done thing old chap.

"Half the time I don't even Know their surname, let alone their job, status or, and this is the telling remark, HOW MANY MILLIONS OR NOT THEY HAVE. The implication of this remark is that all members have millions, the question is, how many millions. Sorry Dougal, You are guilty! Dougal....I ask you.

iitick, ever heard of sarcasm or is that just for us posh people too?

Oh I give up.  Jeeves, get the jet fuelled, I'm off to the Caribbean pad.

Ah Mr Welly, it's all a question of breeding.  It is appropriate to suggest, but vulgar to confirm.

[I'm beginning to warm to this thread...]

beautifully delivered Dougal.  I would duff my cap to you, but I believe one should just raise an eyebrow in subtle acknowledgement and appreciation given all the posh people reading this thread.
