I have aspirations of toffyness, but I have neither the money nor class to pull it off! har har!!
In all seriousness not at all, I drive a banger VW, wear old clothes and have chipped nails - how untoff could I be!!

I agree, I think the toffs are the landed gentry, the hunting, shooting, fishing fraternity.

Thing is though- o/h and i always ask 'do chavs no they are chavs?'
So- do toffs actually know they are toffs?
[/ QUOTE ]
LOL
Well I also know quite a few people who fit the chav type (yes I know I'm forming a very weird mental image of myself!
)
but anyway, in relation to that, I think that yes some of them do know they are chavs and band together like any gang does. Some don't though bless
I think any real toff types I've met (and I would agree they were the none horsey - university loaded student type) most definatley knew the image they were portraying.

I confess I AM A TOFF AND PROUD!
If that means I am middle class and beyond countryside loving horse girl who likes nothing better than going to social events which require public school fee prices just to buy a drink finds men in tweed very attractive and wants to live in nothing less than a 60 acre farm in surrey to play ponies with and have my own shoot so I can perv at tweed wearing boys for the rest of my life whilst married to someone who enjoys like minded activity (less perving at tweed wearing men)

Well i didnt go to Uni and i live with my mum still (at nearly 24!) In a semidetached 3bedroomed house......
I do have two horses and i do dressage - which would probably put me in the 'toff' category to an outsider. I couldnt care less imo whether im classed as a toff or not! Not something that bothers me.

I don't consider myself a toff. I am prob middleclass, -I work for a living and have no disposable income - the cash that keeps the horse is an essential. I speak the queens english, have a degree and as I get older I am developing increasingly conservative views (help me).

I don't care what people think of me as an individual, but I would like the general public to have a more informed opinion of our sport as a whole.
Sometimes them hearing that there actually are very few landed gentry types still in existence, and that most of us are just fun loving people who love animals, may help.
This is purely for selfish reasons I may add - I just want more horses on TV!!

Seriously? It is what you make it, I have had quite a proper upbringing, attend a lot of the more elite events, but dont see myself as "toff"

How can you already be a toff without having the country estate, shooting and fishing parties etc?
Methinks you aspire to be a toff, rather than qualify as one...
Whatever floats your boat.

I have to be, I have a horse and can speak english, I'm always being called posh. But, I'm a thanet girl, owning a horse is poverty, and how can anyone that spends half their life up to their ears in horse hair and poo be considered posh?

I think you've said it all there Rosiie.
The true upper classes (or toffs) would never label themselves as that. It would be seen as being vulgar and decidedly un-classy.
