HellNoHellYeah Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Lately I've been noticing several extremely loud and extremely fake pretend-posh people. The last one was in a cafe and she was braying and being loud and speaking in a pseudo Sloaney accents but the accents were clearly fake/exaggerated. On one occasion a friend and I had to move to a different table because the braying was so loud (and fake) that it interrupted our conversation. What's that about?? I've encountered these types in Blue Mountain Cafe, Cafe Nero and the Green wine bar.

matthew123 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 But why would anyone pretending to be posh - do it in Cafe Nero? I suspect it was members of the Royal family carrying out their duties by visiting the peasants of East Dulwich who can't afford a kettle to make a cuppa in their own homes Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6348-pretend-posh-people/#findComment-203460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
