Apparently, when I type sofa instead of settee I am being posh. Actually, sofa is just shorter to type.
I think I could have a lot of fun being a Hyacinth though, there must be opportunities to take the conversation off to the Twilight Zone. I once worked with someone who would walk an extra ten minutes because the people at the bus stop nearest were too common (and shopped in Morrisons!).
And I don't know whether it should be napkin or serviette, I have never cared, and I'm not really likely to be in a position to call a small square of fabric for dining purposes anything. I am not devastated. I am, however, fascinated by the human need to make up complicated rules to live by.
