A Quote by Grace Chatto

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?

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

Alexander Armstrong

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

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

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

Bob Mortimer

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.

Andrew Flintoff

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 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 I met anyone posh until I went to London.

Chris Ofili

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

It's one of my biggest internal struggles - the whole schooling system in London and the fact that my kids are going to a posh school. It freaks me out.

Stella McCartney

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.
