I'm a fully fledged member of the middle classes.
Poshness may be getting a bad rep, but you're an out and out “U”, as Nancy (Mitford) would say.
Very surprised that I am "in the middle"!
Notwithstanding that, and at the risk of being ridiculed, I will admit to a massive "faux pas" in my very early teens.
I can't recall what this was in aid of, but I had to write to someone about my background.
Amongst the rest of things, I wrote that that I was from "a middle class background" and to confirm the fact,
that my father was "a foreman bricklayer"!!
Don't know why I never heard back from them but I can imagine the hysterical laughter from them.....

"Common as muck." I would have backed myself at a shade of odds on to get that result.
You can certainly spot a good price, Slippy. 1/5 would have been value. 
Kenny @ 1/5 that would have to have been a cheeky lay. I'm really quite civilised you know
Well if you were pally with the great Nigel, I suppose you must hve been a tad.
Just done it again to see what will move it, but still middle.
Would like to see the answers for upper and lower.....

Nanny, I would expect nothing else for you. Join the club 
I particularly like the hats in the picture.
If gangsta rappas wore them instead of baseball caps, they'd be a lot less threatening.

It's a shame, I think if I'd been able to point out I use 8 ply toiletpaper and give the bathroom a good spray afterwards, which is really classy, I'd have went up a notch.

My result was something like:
"Bravo, old chap. Poshness has a bad rep, but you're an out and out 'U' as Nancy Mitford would say."

Stewie Griffin wears red trousers and he's quiet posh, so I think the test is accurate.
I don't wear red trousers and ticked the box that said "don't know what ????? means. Still returned a posh rating at ther end for some reason.
None of my answers made me think I would receive a posh rating.
One was quite shocked.

the only time a real man should wear red trousers is after an altercation at the boozer 
Can't remember all the questions, but I don't wear red trousers, call a dessert a dessert, call a toilet a toilet, drink whatever is available before dinner, know what special brew is and call my mates my mates.
How on earth does this make me posh?

Stewards Enquiry, I answered exactly the same to those questions as Torquemada did and yet he's deemed to be posh and yet I'm trailer trash.
It must have hinged on the other Qs but I can't remember what they were. It certainly wasn't "do you have a butler?" or "do you live in a castle?"
I'll take the test again now and see if it returns the same result.
I've got a cleaner and a gardener, I must be a little bit posh ffs.
Bravo old chap

This is a proud moment. I would like to thank my friends, my school and, above all, my mother, for her consistent and prolonged boycotting of ITV on the grounds that only common people watched commercial television.

PS How the hell do people eat asparagus with cutlery?

i think most men go out of their way to lose any poshness anyway as its seen as slightly effeminate in an Alpha male world - it's just making sure you don't stray over onto Chav lines .
