This is the most posh thing I've read on HN so far. Don't share this with strangers unless you want everyone to know you're elite.

Perhaps it's posh from an american centric point of view. If you are in Portugal or Brazil it is as posh as eating butter.

I don't know why some Brits keep saying this. Wine is not posh, expensive sausages are not posh, quality food is not posh.

Why are you trying to create a divide, and why are you on the "lesser" side? Ignore the strange "posh" elite, they're morons. You can do whatever you want in Britain, no matter your situation (coming from an actually divided poor country, yes, really).

Why do you assume the GP is a Brit?

Heard quite a few Brits saying that. I guess it was their "if only I".

If only I was born to different parents, if only I was born in a different country, if only I had more money, if only I had friends in high places, if only the elite didn't keep us down. Lots of excuses, sometimes valid, but often not.

Working class Brits don't realize how much opportunity they have in their own country, and it's sad.

Personally I think that a pretty stupid generalisation. Yes there are more opportunities in the UK, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a class divide too.

Look at the university column.

Working class people get the opportunity to go to the top universities as well - which university you went to isn't a definitive statement about your background. I came from a working class background, went to a generic local comprehensive, then was accepted into the University of Cambridge.

Don't see the poshness? Elaborate?

DoingIsLearning blatantly admits to eating "foreign" food and from more than one country! Perhaps not being from the UK is no excuse! ;-)

You couldn't make this post scream more Americuaaaa!

Americans generally don't use the word posh.

wow ok, eating food thats common in your region makes you elite. OK... makes you seem like a fool.
