Are you officially posh?

I agree with Nancy Mitford that unlike whoever wrote the OP’s list, one goes to the lavatory, never the toilet, and certainly not the ‘loo’. Does that count?

I don't think that's right. "Lavatory" and "loo" are both U.

Discovered in the graun recently that 'looking glass' is 'U' - apparently posh people consider 'mirror' vulgar. One lives & learns.

Treat everyone the same and expect the same back... more fool them if they are up themselves.

One has an illuminated address, pertaining to one of one’s ancestors, hanging on the wall. There are related antiques.

Excuse me, please. My man has drawn my morning bath.

Is that so the postman can see it in the dark?

In pencil?

I have an antique Stanley #4 plane from my Grandad. Does that count as an antique heirloom do you think?

Mine mostly consists of cotton mill workers from Carlisle. I do know quite alot about it though thanks to the sterling work of a distant relative in Australia that I didn't know existed until she got in touch.
