Posh

According to oxford dictionary,

early 20th century: perhaps from slang posh, denoting a dandy. There is no evidence to support the folk etymology that posh is formed from the initials of port out starboard home (referring to the more comfortable accommodation, out of the heat of the sun, on ships between England and India)

Reference

Oxford dictionaries, (2011)'posh', available at : http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/posh
 
According to Collins dictionary,
 
C19: often said to be an acronym of the phrase port out, starboard home, the most desirable location for a cabin in British ships sailing to and from the East, being the north-facing or shaded side; but more likely to be a development of obsolete slang posh a dandy

    Welsh Assembly





                                                                              
                                                    

    • Wales is a part of United Kingdom.
    • The Assembly has three key roles: representing Wales and its people; making laws for Wales; and holding the Welsh Government to account.

    • The Assembly makes laws for Wales on specific subject areas. Outside these areas, different bodies (like local authorities or the UK government) make laws that apply to Wales.
    • Elections for the 60 seats in the National Assembly for Wales take place every four years. This section explains how Assembly Members are elected and contains details of past elections.
    • The Assembly is made up of 60 elected Assembly Members. Forty are chosen to represent individual constituencies, and 20 are chosen to represent the five regions of Wales (North Wales, Mid and West Wales, South Wales West, South Wales Central, and South Wales East). Assembly Members represent their area as a member of a political party or as an independent.
    • Assembly Members undertake their tasks of representing Wales and its people, making laws for Wales and holding the Welsh Government to account in a number of ways. These include attending Plenary debates and sitting on Assembly Committees to discuss specific issues. Find out more about how Assembly business is carried out in this section.
