Posh
My dad's family are posh - there's at least one knight and an ex-lord mayor of london. My mum's family come from Staines.
How posh are you? Who's the poshest person you've met? Be proud and tell us your poshest moments.

Surrey
When William the Conqueror successfully conquered the UK, he handed out bits of the country to his most generous supporters. One of them was a chap called Walter who was so posh that he didn't have a surname, but was sufficiently wealthy to have provided half the army that William used at Hastings in 1066. As a reward he was given half of Surrey.
I'm a descendant of Walter. I now live in a two-up, two-down, as my idiotic family has squandered the entire fortune down the centuries. Doh!
