The Great British Class System

[paultheeagle]

Apparently the Class system has change...No more more Upper Class, Middle Class or Working Class....It's a lot more complcated than that...There are now seven social Classes

Elite
Established middle class
Technical middle class
New affluent workers
Traditional working class
Emergent service workers
Precariat

What Class are you?....see here.

I am the lowest Class Precariat (charming), well according to the calculator.....Actually being a Palace fan, then there is only one class I can belong to......Elite

[Esprit]

Not the slightest bit interested.

Respect, honesty, and generosity are classless

[Mervyn and Trish]

I've not checked the calculator but bound to be elite.

[Manoverboard]

We are ' Elite ' with Princess but mere ' Getaways ' with P&O

[Mervyn and Trish]

Is that your ticket or what other diners say when they see you approaching the table?

[Mervyn and Trish]

Crikey. Just done the test and we really are elite.

What a load of cods!

[Dark Knight]

Established middle class

total Pap

Traditional working class. It must be wrong - I know Mob!!

[gfwgfw]

A really ole ****, nowt wrong with that, is there ?

[Boris+]

Hmmm, yes well I did the test - couldn't believe the result, so did it again and had it checked - and got the same result!

Oh well - it is not my fault.

Anyway, does it really matter - judging a book by it's cover or title can be a road to foolishness.

Hi PTE

No surprises in this household... I’m two levels below my wife...She being technical middle class, whereas I’ve just about squeezed into traditional working class...

I'm quite happy with my traditional working class. I was on course for elite but the moment I mentioned Mob's name the bubble burst!!

Never mind, I've just ad me fish n chips and am off now to feed the ferrets and close the pigeon loft.

[Gill W]

I think there's something wrong with the survey, I've come out as elite.

I think it's because I like going to museums and stately homes!

My Labour voting, union member dad is probably turning in his grave!

[Jacknian]

Apparently I'm technical middle class, whatever that means !

[GillD46]

We came out as Elite too, though I think the short test was a pretty crude judge of anything. I doubt anyone actually believes these things.

[oldbluefox]

A great laugh last night. My wife did the test and came out Elite!! As she doesn't have a works pension I have decided I am looking after her too well!!

[Dark Knight]

apparently I can upgrade to Elite, when I stop paying taxes and put all me cash offshore and buy a football club

you couldn't make it up

[Manoverboard]

I didn't even look at it but one would politely enquire if there is a question along the lines of ...

Q37) Are you, or do you happen to know, a Muppet who uses Twitter ?

[The Tinker]

Apparently i am a new affluent worker - not sure where the word 'affluent' comes from - must be a code for the income tax we pay.

[Dark Knight]

I would have breezed into elite staus, except, I frequent cruise forums
and know several ne'er do wells, who are way beliow my social status

I need a better class of cyber friends

Cus I came out as a sad Rabbit Pie eating, ferret lover old ****

Is there a category for being a sad Rabbit .... ?

[Kendhni]

I am not into classification by box-ticking.
Everybody is who they are and, for the most, should take pride in that.

[The Tinker]

Definitely agree with you on that Ken - found the questionnaire quite bizarre - never mind it keeps someone in a job.

[paultheeagle]

Lighten up some of you...It's a bit of fun...Nobody takes it seriously....Do they?
