So what class are you in?

Up to 24pts: Working Class
Congratulations, you’re dyed-in-the-wool working class with an income, job, education and personal tastes to prove it.

25-39pts: Middle Class
It's official: you’re now a member of the chattering classes.

If you scored between 25 and 32 points, you’re more aspirational and probably still on the up. Although you have some of the tastes and education, you don’t quite have the background to qualify you for upper middle-class status.

There’s still a very well-established higher strata within this class.

40pts or more: Upper Class
You're basically a toff!!

What a load of bollocks. I reckon I was a toff until it asked if I was a Southern Shandy Drinking Twat ;-)

One of my lecturers at Uni used to say that anyone who got paid for going into work was working class whether they earned £1,000 or £1M and whether they were a Mr, Mrs, Ms, Lord, Lady, Earl, Countess etc! :-)

So only those on the dole or retired can’t consider themselves working class eh? ;)

Anyway as said before class to me is about how you handle yourself not what you do for a living or how much cash you’ve got. And generally I find those with less are somewhat less up their own arses of self importance and therefore are classier in my book.

Yep, those of us who are retired or on the dole are actually the middle classes nowadays!! ;-) :-) I didn't say I agreed with my lecturer and we did question his assumption and, if I remember rightly, had a pretty lively discussion about it. (It was over 40 years ago!)

My default position is, as I said in another thread, to go by the lady in the Water Babies by Charles Dickens....Mrs Do-as-you-would-be-done-by. I try to treat everyone equally. :-)



Except Dunnie and Vinnie of course....... for them I just swoon at their feet and say treat me as you wish. ;-)
