Can't agree with that. There have been many 'posh' sounding actors who exuded a perceived upper class aura and were definitely cool.Originally Posted by Macca
Alistair Sim, Alec Guinness and Terry Thomas immediately spring to mind. THEY were cool guys!

They were not uncool. That's not the same as being cool.

We should go back to the old system with the hats. Then nobody would need to ask.

tha lack of thumbnail on post #8 (and excess of Saturday Night-ism) swayed me a tad.

I come from a working class background but would describe myself as classless.. I don't have a posh accent put I don't have a 'Pompy' one either (thank goodness!)
I've mixed with upper class people as well as people much further down the so called class list and have loved each of them for their friendship rather than what class they happen to be
