Thanks to all for help. Not sure though how "posh wooden objects" is connected with a tureen. Can somebody explain?

[y-cymro]

Treen is the name for small woosen objects.

U stands for posh (but i dont remember the origin of it)

[JUNKMAN]

treen = wooden objects
u = posh

I also meant wooden - not woosen! :-)

[Catron]

U
adj (of words, behaviour, etc) as used by or found among the upper classes, hence socially acceptable; upper-class, opp to non-U.
[upper-class]

Many thanks to everyone. I've learned something new today!

Thamks catron - i've never known the origins of the terms U and non-u - but always known what they were in crosswords!
