"What does "upmarket" means to you?
How do you feel if you read this in someone's profile?
"
If I read it on someone's profile, id presume they had popped out to the shops ...upmarket!  |

"I cringe if someone describes him/herself as upmarket.  "
Actually I completely agree with you there. If anybody finds it necessary to create an artifical distinction between themselves and the next person through this concept.... to me that would be solely based on the material world and a bit shallow? |

I would associate upmarket with sophistication and refinement.
However, those that are refined and sophisticated would not described themselves as such, as they do not need to brag about it, IMHO. |

Me, humble, since when?!
Nah, just thinking about a vanilla gent that I contemplated meeting, until I decided that he did not come across as "upmarket" as he described himself.
Common as muck more like!  |

When I refurbished my new home, I ripped out the bath, and installed a wet room with a shower only, and added a bidet, as I prefer to use the latter for a quick wash from time to time. |

Maybe Upmarket people are the sort of people who think being given Hot Paper Towels served from a pair of vegetable tongs near the end of a 50 minute flight to some mundane destination is an essential part of life… IDK....
Hey now, I'm only hazarding guess!!..... I didn't suggest dabbing ya face with a hot wet-wipe isn't a worthwhile venture...... crumbs!!!!!  |

Was thinking that for something or somebody to be upmarket... there has got to be the opposite to define the concept.. like downmarket... Now who or what would be downmarket I wonder... and
...
...
Who decides this anyway? |

"If someone described themselves to me as being 'upmarket' I may have the tendancy to suspect that they are somewhat up their own arseholes "
.
My kind of thinking too!
As I said, I cringed when I heard this gent described himself as quite upmarket in his initial voicemail to me. |

"So... Would the Aldi champagne buyer be an upmarket professional.... "
Aldi sometimes sell well known "upmarket" Champagnes as well, alongside those they have from their local suppliers, often so "local" that they are not known nationwide yet nonetheless of superior quality... It just depends |
