Town vs Country

Are you new? or have you never left?

Tatler Magazine is a magazine all about posh / upper class people and what they are doing. The magazine doesn't rely on anything that is going on the world new but rely's on simply information that they collect/ gather from there inside people. This magazine is generally not read by the middle class normally the upper class and even celebrities.

In the TV series Posh People in Tatler within there first episode they talk about people who are new to the city and country and compares them to the people who have lived in theses areas forever. they created a picture/ diagram of what they think people would do and own in these categories.

This diagram shows what Tatler thinks peoples identities within these areas would be, For example they believe that a new person to an area like London, would own a Labradoodle whereas someone who has lived here for like ever would own a yellow Labrador. but they believe that all of the upper class people in these areas would own a land-rover as a central point. These beliefs are generally myths of what a newly upper class person would own compared to someone who has always been posh or upper class.

They also believe that a new country person would own a Brown Labrador instead of a black Labrador in which a real deal country man or woman would own, to me i think everyone's mad about Labradors. There is many elements of popular culture in the new towns people e.g. things like vodka and card games such as Shit Head which are associated with the student identity.

Tatler is the one magazine that is culturally popular within the upper classes and they target there audience well with what they wear questions? and old traditions and parties what more can these people want, but middle class are starting to affect this magazine as they showed in the first episode by the introduction of a new assistant called the "middle class interloper" they showed us how they introduced him into there newspaper and into the Tatler society and how they provide a book about a guide to etiquette for upper class people and the cultural codes and communications that they use.
