OPINION - Is Nicky Haslam's new Common List proof he's turning from posh to common himself?

As an actual common person (regional, never miss an episode of The Chase, find the taste of cheese from a tube unapologetically delicious), the annual publication of Nicky Haslam’s Common List has turned into something of a high point of the festive calendar. Mr Haslam, an 85-year-old interior designer with a Chelsea practice who is friends with the actual Queen, is one of those posh people common people quite like. If you venture three lines down his Instagram page, you’ll find a picture of him clinking champagne flutes with David Cameron while wearing a hoodie and white jeans. Despite the connections, he’s funny, hard, unceremonious.
