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.

"One can learn to enunciate clearly, work hard in the free education our
society provides and thus access a higher educational level than many a
generation of working folk could never have hoped for in decades past."
That was the case, and Britain can be proud of having once acheived a high degree of social mobility. Alas, one has to use the past tense as the closing of the grammar schools (the wrong solution to the wrong question), huge student fees and the development of private schools geared not to education but to exam results has allowed the affluent to pull up the drawbridge and keep the oiks out. Sailing is suffering as a result. Arguably sailing was far more accessible when we all sailed in Mirrors, Ents, GPs etc |

The same as yo bitches can get down wiv der kids innit, by simply slipping your lexicon into something frankly ridiculous outside of downtown LA. All it takes is to roll up with some new sexy vernacular, a Camelot grant for hardware and the RYA can gift wrap yachting as a new accessible sport for the masses called 'sailing'. Social mobility needn't be precluded by a glottal stop. Never underestimate the power of language... or sartorial elegance, to define social standing.

I'm not sure it is possible to become posh ... it is defined at birth ...

Mechanics Institute - a reminder that the Industrial Revolution was lead by craftsmen, having benefitted from apprenticeships and self-education. not by the university educated and the beneficiaries of inherited wealth and priviledge.
Unfortunately the posh, having demonstrated their gross incompetence by wrecking British industry got their revenge in the great British Counter-Revolution which started in 1979! |

no, we should all aspire to being posh; or take up kitesurfing.
