Are you posh or not?

Now, a lot of you have met me, and a lot of you have spoken to me on the phone. So you’re not going into this having never met me – am I posh? This became the topic of conversation at lunch time. Jess, one time Laundry lady, rates people’s poshness on a scale of how many ponies she thinks they should own. Apparently, I rate at 1.5 ponies, which is relatively high – you have to be posh to even register on the scale in the first place.

Last week, there was a mouse in my house…

It all started a couple of weeks ago when I came home to find my housemate prowling the house in his dressing gown, armed with a saucepan and a bowl of carrots. He was on a mouse hunt, as he’d spotted one scampering across the living room, and this was his hunting equipment.

I Like coffee! I like tea! I like the java jive and it likes me! Coffee and tea! and the java and me! A cup- a cup- a cup-a cup- a cuppaah! Yeah!

I didn’t like tea or coffee for years and years. Apart from for dipping biscuits in which, drove my Dad crazy. You know, with a rich tea when you just dip a little too long and half of it gets all soggy and drops down to the bottom of the mug making the tea a total write-off. My granny would complain that my indifference to tea made me very un-British; she’d try and bribe me into drinking it with a couple of Bakewell tarts or a French Fancy.

Lucky old me, I went to see Fame the musical the other day in Dartford (when I said I was going to Dartford, someone in the office said to me, isn’t that just a tunnel? Well I can confirm that it’s not just a tunnel, there’s a theatre, a car park and a bridge. Ooh and a train station) and apart from a constant refrain of ‘Fame! I’m gonna live forever’ running round my head (and an urge to jump in the air and touch my toes like the guy on the poster) it’s also got me thinking about claims to fame.
