    I want to be high class
    I want to be high class. Everyone around me has nice RP accents and expensive clothes... some have cleaners and maids.

    How can I pretend to be high class?

    Shop at Waitrose, read the Telegraph, subtly slip in references to your dad's Lambo and your jacuzzi with the aloofness of someone who sees these as obvious things to own

    Unless you have the background and lifestyle to support your association with the upper class your pretence will be transparent.

    Re: I want to be high class
    If you 'want' to be high class, then it will be almost impossible for you to be. Social class comes from your upbringing, so you could win the lottery tomorrow and still be lower or middle class. Similarly, I know a number of families who are 'asset rich, cash poor' who have inherited land and aristocratic titles, but are practically impoverished when it comes to cash.
    Those who try to be high class end up looking painfully obvious.

    Speak like as if you have a complete paralysis of your facial muscles. That is the ticket.
