    Is it OK to be posh again? (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Is it OK to be posh again? It’s quite a silly question, I know, but there have been some changes, some whispers on the wind, which make me think it’s safe to come out. Obviously I’ve been out for ages, probably since 2012 when I was appointed chief Labrador correspondent at Tatler. But others among you might have felt that it was unsafe for a spell, that you should hunker down and wait for the storm to pass, and that walking to the village shop for the papers in your red corduroys was actively d

    The Poshcast: should Earl Spencer have more of a stiff upper lip? (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    GOOD MORNING. I had dinner in a very lovely new West London pub last night, if anyone needs one of those. Well, it’s not actually new. But it was taken over a few months ago by a family who know their white onions and it was fab. I’m going to sound a tiny bit Marie Antoinettish here but you’ll have to forgive me: it was the best onglet I’ve ever had (because onglet can be SO CHEWY, can’t it?), and also glasses of pinot noir for a fiver. A fiver! Practically giving it away! We ate splendidly and

    Does the new Sense and Sensibility match the 1995 one? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Right then, Sense and Sensibility. The new film is out this week but my sister and I, jammy dodgers, went to the premiere last week. Regular readers may know that the 1995 Ang Lee version is my favourite film. Well, it’s up there, anyway, along with International Velvet and Three Men and A Little Lady. I must have watched Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Greg Wise and co over a hundred times and, as discussed recently, every August, when in South Devon, I make my tragic little pilgrimage along an es

    Don’t have a private jet? Rotten luck. But here’s my new flying hack! (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Would the best thing about being rich be flying private? I know, I know, deeply vulgar to be so rich, and ostentatious to fly private, and also extremely bad for the poor planet and so on. But still, it would be nice, wouldn’t it? I ask because there’s a swanky new £25m terminal at Farnborough, the UK’s ‘pre-eminent’ private jet airport in Hampshire. Flexjet, the private jet company which I believe allows you to buy a bit of a jet, vaguely like a timeshare, has just opened this terminal because
