The whole of the UK is at least middle class, thats why its in so much debt.

 

Am middle class but i dont think its a meaningful term. In terms of outlook on life, i've met 'middle class' people who i have nothing in common with and who inhabit a different world to me.

Class has no relation to money. It all has to do with upbringing.

 

 

Very true Parky, been having a gander at property for sale for over a million up at Darras Hall and some of them have ZERO class :icon_lol:

I was raised in a council house, parents were manual workers, went to state school.

Worked in various environs, now run my own business.

Everything I have I've worked for.

I speak with a strong Geordie accent, but I don't use slang.

Drink beer in pubs, mainly wine at home.

What am I?

 

I'd say I'm still working class, but moving inexorably towards the middle.

CT aspires to be scum, Monkey my man. He talks up Special brew and a heinz ready meal. Honestly, his idea of high society is those people who don't drink in council car parks...

Class has no relation to money. It all has to do with upbringing.

 

There's some relationship between income and class obviously, but this is largely true. I was born into a middle class family but we were much poorer than other families around us who had a more working class background.

 

Class snobbery is stupid anyway. You have no more choice into which class you're born than you do what colour or religion you're born into. Fwiw there seems to be a lot of inverse snobbery on this board. There used to be a canny poster on here called Northern Soul who was a bit of a Billy Bragg type. Canny poster but he had an almost psychological hatred of the middle classes, I could never get my head round it. On the other hand, got to admit I don't respect the true upper classes, the Landed Gentry. We should put up inheritance tax to 90% to eliminate these parasites. Everyone should get, or at least have the potential to get, what they work for. I believe in meritocracy.

I agree that class snobbery is stupid. Also that its not just about wealth. But, I don't agree with a hike in inheritance tax. I'm working my bollocks off right now and doing ok. But, why do you think I'm so keen to work hard?
