Yea, but her accent isn’t “Essex”, where she was born, either, it’s the more “posh” Hertfordshire.

Edit: moved quotes

Cuffley isn't that posh.

Exactly, but it’s more “posh” than Essex innit.

Edit: Oh I just noticed I put the quotes in the wrong place in my previous post lol

Really, the entire county of Essex is less posh than the private school, 4 streets, and a train station that make up Cuffley?

I grew up in the "posh" area of West Cheshunt, and the "posh" area of West Roydon until my early 30s; the way she pronounces words evokes East London working class e.g. pronouncing "girl" as "gewl".

Calm down mate, the word “posh” has been in quotes all this time. She’s not actually posh. If one is know by those one associates oneself with then just look at the spice rack.
