          No. I think you'll find there is no word for posh any more. Posh is normal, and not posh is just not discussed in polite society.

                  My mate Dave has a squeaky voice. He is built like a troll. Not the internet kind, a real troll, like a walking mountain. He is pig ugly, poor lad. And all this means his squeaky voice is just not what you'd expect.

                  My mate Dave isn't posh.

                  I have 3 other friends called Dave. I don't think you mean them though because despite being more slightly built than troll Dave (everyone is more slightly than little Dave), they don't have squeaky voices. They're not posh either.

                    We've worked for a couple of fountain pen producers painting artwork on their pens, one in the UK and one in Italy. We've probably painted over a 1000 pens so of course being in that world we use fountain pens on occassion.

                        It may surprise you all, but I can not do joined up writing. I have always written in capitals, even in my GCSE English exam (which I passed). I am surprised that the teachers let me get away with it in school, but it was always very neat. I suppose it doesn't affect what you know. I came away with around 10 GCSE's, and some CEE's. Not impressive by today's standards, but not bad for the 80's. I dropped out of 'A' level maths, too hard :sad:.
                        What was the question again? :scratch:. Oh yes, I don't think I have ever used one :biggrin:. These days I am skilled with my middle finger :blue thumb:,
