To me the broth posy was always the bunch of herbs too. My mum used to buy all the veg separate and then a bunch of herbs tied together which was the broth posy. She put it in the broth with the string dangling out so that the woody stalks could easily be fished out when the broth was cooked. Nowadays you don't seem to find the little bunches, just sprigs of thyme.

As I hate chopping hard root veg (I have problems with my hands) I don't object at all the the ready chopped broth mix. Pot herbs would really confuse me though.
