We all have that one friend… or a few.
That friend who casually goes for dinner in Chapter One with her family. Or the one who used to stroll down to the corner shop with a €20 note when you had 20c… yep, we all have posh friends.
Don’t get us wrong, we love them all the same – but we can all think back to that time when they did or said something which had you immediately mutter to yourself, ‘oh, they’re fancy’.
Well, Sam Whyte took to Twitter over the weekend to ask how you first realised your mate was posh, and the responses were just brilliant.
Sam said:
When you were a kid, how did you know someone was a bit posh when you went round their house? So far we’ve got more than one type of cheese in the fridge and booze that wasn’t for drinking that day.

And it all came rolling in:
My friend didn’t get pocket money, she got an “allowance”. Mate! I got a 10p mix a week if I was lucky!

Two bathrooms. And a lemon zester… not necessary in that order.

Dinner didn’t arrive on your plate, there were serving dishes on the table or a hostess trolley, with serving spoons & napkins not a roll of kitchen@paper…

The stairs at a school friend’s house didn’t just go straight up to the top; there was a small mezzanine half way.

I went to a friend’s house once and he said it was time for supper. Had literally no idea what he was talking about.

My mate’s mum did us melon for starters when I went round for tea ?When I asked my mum if we could have starters when he came to ours she gave us a Mars Bar.

When you’d stay at theirs on a Friday night and you’d have to go early in the morning cos they had some kind of extra curricular lesson. On a SATURDAY.

They had ice creams from M& S in the freezer. No need to run out to the van

My friends thought I was posh because we had two fridges! One for food and one for drinks.
