A Quote by Andrew Flintoff

Cricket was deemed too posh where I came from, and I'd never have risked walking home through the estates in my whites. My club played some of the posh schools. I'd have the cheapest kit, but I loved those games. As soon as the posh lads opened their mouths and you heard their accents, the stakes were raised.

At Trinity College there was a coterie of the poshest of the posh, people you didn't ever see, they were so posh. They went to each other's rooms and, at weekends, each other's estates. I preferred to be with the weirdo bunch of raggle-taggle thesps.

Mel Giedroyc

I never know what defines you as being posh. I went to a posh school, definitely.

Jack Whitehall

I mean, look at Adele. She sings and she's not posh, posh, posh. But she's absolutely amazing. She's smashing it. She's global. I just think why change yourself? I'm going to stay as me.

Megan McKenna

I think you can't be really posh and be an interesting actor. I'm a bit of a posh rough.

Damian Lewis

I was teased at school for having a posh voice even though there was nothing posh about us.

Alexander Armstrong

I didn't know we'd been tagged as posh. I went to a state school in London, so maybe people think I have a posh voice and that's where it comes from?

Grace Chatto

I worry I look posh and fat. I can't do anything about posh - I'm accentless - but I've spent 20 years battling my weight.

Karren Brady

I don't think old posh is as intimidating as new posh, is it?

Bob Mortimer

When I first left drama school, I was too posh for the working-class parts and not posh enough for the upper-class roles. You know what England is like: the gradations of accent and how you're judged by them are still there. I discovered that to get a break you have to lie about where you're from.

Ben Chaplin

I do want people to think of me as an actor, not just a posh actor who does posh parts.

Freddie Fox

That's the way I like my posh people, up front. I like the fact that Jack Whitehall will talk about being posh, or David Mitchell.

Frank Skinner

I have friends who are in the posh category and some who are in the not-at-all-posh category, and some who you would find it very hard to get any sort of handle on. But I am lucky to have any friends, of course.

Jools Holland

When I started in the profession, there were very visible actors who were Scottish, Welsh, or regional. Lots of working-class-hero leading actors; it was not fashionable to sound posh. Now, I'm middle-aged; it's fashionable to sound posh if you are the generation behind me.

Tom Hollander

I've been misconstrued because I speak in a certain way. I find it obnoxious how it defines you, somehow limits your ability to understand the human condition. You can't be allowed near emotions; you play these curling-lipped, haughty characters. This awful label - 'the posh Toby Stephens' - I'm not posh!

Toby Stephens

I couldn't care less about walking down the red carpet in a pair of heels and a posh frock. I'd rather be in my pyjamas at home.

Sophia Myles

Classically posh girls like Victoria Hervey are now trying to be Hollywood girls. Hollywood girls are trying to be posh girls. Everything is all mixed up, turned on its head.
