Sh1t...five of them!!

- I do have loads of books

Plus - I've been skiing twice (in 58 years)....not sure if that counts

How many can you tick off = 12 embarrassingly

 

[Bakero]

Just 2 for me, thankfully, due to my shelves full of books and knowing how to use a knife and fork. I could have ticked the partridge and grouse one too, I suppose, but I don't eat either regularly. Also, I'm not sure if my silver ring counts as "having silver".

Wait, I've just looked again and noticed the napkin one and the loose leaf tea. I have a smattering of Latin too so it seems like I'm sliding towards the posh zone.

[Live by the sea]

Silver I think refers to solid silver cutlery.

 

[Eeyore]

I've loved cricket since I was 11 and come from a working class family. The team I'm associated with have no 'posh' people as per the above definition.

You call the toilet 'the loo' Really ? Who doesn't ?

 

[beorhthelm]

i can count only one, i call the toilet the loo, sometimes.

 

[knocky1]

Ego sum IV eorum, darling.

2 out of 40 - no 24 and the knife and fork one

Although I know a gardener who has supper

3:

16. You have a family tree - Somebody made one for one grandparent, not sure where it is.

28. You have shelves full of books - I have piles of books scattered randomly around the flat.

33. You love cricket - If you'd told me this was a posh activity when I was freezing my tits off on Fort Road rec in some U-16s game I might have expressed my views on it quite forcefully.

 

[A1X]

7 for me

Although I object a little to the cricket one. When I saw a group of men dressed as nuns walking into the Oval for an England match I don't recall thinking "wow, it's like the Henley regatta".
