Bavarian Motor Works

you are brought up with ones poshness ..........

anything else and you are just trying to be posh and it will look all wrong.

Also you need to be wearing a couple of grand when doing this....eg

suit- £350
shirt - £60
belt - £30
watch - £2500
Shoes - £150
cuff links - £40
mobile - £250

so around £3500 and you will look and naturally feel posh!
Then you just need to speak slowly and clearly !

I'd say a little more than that..we want Savile Road!

Dosh is tosh. Not an issue. I'm more concerned about coming across genuine in being really posh.

Surely acting posh and then not having any substance to back your appearance would make you look like a complete joke.

Talking, engaging in conversation, eating, gesturing and walking like a posh person then leaving in a Corsa is not going to earn you any respect. You would just be seen as a fake.

Tbh I wouldn't want to be REALLY posh - I'm fairly posh but not extreme, and when I talk to someone who speaks the Queen's English I feel quite intimidated and inferior, and it's not attractive at all.
Now, a really hot accent is Northern Irish *swoons*

That's me, woohoo!

There's a lot of networking involved working in Corporate Finance. I'm under the impression that one has to have a certain degree of "poshness" in order to have a successful career. I don't want to be just posh - I want to be really posh. Any tips?

What are your first impressions of someone who speaks with a posh accent?

Is being posh attractive these days?

I work in nutritional industry at mo, I must speak to hundreds of bell ends a day who think/talk like they're posh, only I feel like saying 'pack it in love, you're from Grimsby, you can't be posh'

I already do this when the occasion demands. Are there any other ways for me to demonstrate that I am really posh - not the acquired "poshness" one observes in the manner of some wannabes I witness at Cambridge?

Wannabes at Cambridge? Surely they aren't as 'wannabe' as you, posting on an internet forum asking how to be posh lol. if this isn't a joke..

Maybe you should try to be sophisticated rather than posh..maybe think of it as a personality spring- clean rather than trying to be someone you aren't because you will be spotted a mile off.
