Post by: olufsen on April 03, 2013, 07:21:33 am: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22000973

Mix socially with people similar to themselves
Work in research, science and technical fields
Enjoy emerging culture such as going to the gym and using social media

I'm technical middle class, lol, sure don't feel it.

Oh it's massively flawed. Try earning less than £10k a year but having a £500k+ house and over £100k in savings. Makes you working class apparently.

Post by: andrewparker on April 03, 2013, 10:48:21 am: So you earn £100k+ a year but have no savings and you rent a house. You don't know anyone and your only interest is playing video games. But you're in the elite class.

There are scrap dealers who earn £100k+ a year. Are they in an elite social class?

Class is defined by several attributes

your ancestry
your financial wealth
your education
your upbringing
your interests

Spot on MC71!!!

I'm a traditional craftsman and a psychology graduate with friends from all walks of life, so good luck categorising me!! What a load of old knobwash. I do the things I want to do in life that make me happy, and am not driven by a desire to fall into a class. Unfortuantely for our society, a lot of people are. A horrible way to live, and a waste of life. Established Middle Class, pass me a bucket :sick: :sick: :sick:

Post by: Kalpsn2000 on April 04, 2013, 02:28:44 pm: These calculators are always bollocks!

Emergent Service worker, what ever that is.

Just tried a 2nd time:
Earn under 10k
Own a house over 500k
Over 100k savings
Know all the professional people
Go to the theatre, etc

Which makes me...Traditional working class :laugh:
