I don't go to royal parties or play polo on horseback. No, I don't hang out with the posh crowd, if that makes sense.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not posh or common, I'm in between.
There's no snobbery or resentment from serious polo people towards those who just come for the party.
It's quite confusing being one of the less wealthy people at a posh place.
Posh is a way of living that can often be quite miserly and not about money.
If someone thinks I'm posh, it just shows how lowly they are. Some people think I went to Eton. I'm far too stupid to get into Eton.
If I avoid anything, it's that I don't really go to places that are like a little corner of England. I also never mind going to a dance show because I love it all so much.
I certainly never saw myself as posh.
So, I have my own horse and two ponies. I grew up around horses, and that really is my passion.
I go down to the dive bar around the corner when I go out. I don't go to the showbiz parties.
'Posh' is not really political. I didn't want to aim a brickbat at the system. Or to bash Old Etonians. It was always the class and privilege aspect of that world that I was most drawn to. There is something endlessly fascinating about imagining something you could never be involved in.
