Probably middle class but enjoy the company of people from all classes. In fact working class people are generally more interesting as they don't bother trying too hard.
Middle class social climbers are the most boring people on the entire planet.

I'm amazed that people are still small minded enough to judge others based on this nonsense.
I prefer to choose my friends based on their character.
Still, each to their own, eh?

Barnsleymitch; don't be too upset. Ernie's an 'orrible **** at the best of times, and I think he might have a bad case of piles atm, 'cos he's been very crotchety lately.
I think 'class' only really matters if you allow yourself to be defined by it. I don't. I don't see anyone as having higher status than myself in any sense, other than if they have worked hard to gain skills/knowledge in a particular area. I probably have other skills/knowledge that they don't, so it all balances out. I'll show respect to a doctor on medical issues, but by the same token I would expect that same respect to be shown me in terms of my unique abilities.
The David Beckham's bike thread yesterday really showed the snobbery and hypocrisy that abounds on here; how dare a mere footballer from east London have so much money??? Yes, how dare someone exceptionally skilled and talented in a particular area take advantage of their market worth, eh?
I've mixed with aristocracy and villains. I'd hate to be trapped by someone else's definition of who they think I am.

Grandparents - upper middle
Parents - middle
Me - Retail worker (but I'm typing this on an iMac so lower middle? - underachieving middle)Posted 1 year ago # -
I tend to find that the upper classes and the working class get on like a house on fire. It is only the grasping aspirant middle classes who seem to get all excited about these things.
I am not a rich man but my family can be traced back to the Norman conquest and beyond. I have house shared with a Knight but also had a damn good time with travellers. I am the first in my male family line not to go to Cambridge but I do not own the means to produce. What am I?

A class traitor.

What am I?
A) A slave to your own and others preconceptions, destined to remain unfulfilled due to a self imposed unwillingness to ignore the meaningless platitudes of others?
B) A bit bored at lunchime?
C) Trying not to get drawn into the nonsense being spouted on the 11th September thread?

A class traitor
You may be right, but I was enquiring what class you think I might be a traitor to?
Stupid relative to the family?
Quite possibly, though some of my poshest relatives are dimmer than you could imagine.

spot on. known as middle class social climbers, always trying to prove something but all they do is show their insecurities about themselves.

As I understand, that is a product of their (in)breeding? It's common amongst the aristocracy. Just take a look at the Royal Family, horsey faced freaks.

I always thought
Upper - by birth right
Upper Middle - by education (of parents)
Lower Middle - Working + money
Working - by birth rightWorking can earn good money and get to Lower Middle, but you need a generation of graduates before their grandchildren could achieve Upper Middle. It takes two generations to

I'm off to work now, but if ernie shows up at anytime, could he please clarify his 'class traitor' comment? I know its pathetic, but it hit home, and to be frank, felt like a bit of a c***y thing to say. My post was supposed to be a bit tongue in cheek, but then again, I dont know if ernie's reply to it was.......
LOL ! ........ well I hope you managed to sleep alright last night after that damning denunciation mitch.Yes of course I was being serious, I would only resort to calling someone a "class traitor" after giving the matter the utmost consideration. Besides, I have never knowingly joked on this forum. And I certainly wouldn't consider starting to do so on a thread covering such a serious subject as "what class would you put yourself in"
We'll speak no more of it. But........ I can't guarantee that when the day eventually comes and the proletariat are finally victorious in seizing state power, you won't be held accountable for your treachery. Still, until that fateful day when you hear that knock on your front door, sleep tight me ol'fruit.

I couldn't agree more.
It's the insecurity which many amongst the middle-classes feel, that often makes them so snobbish, arrogant, and reactionary.

Middle class = Daily Mail and Express
IMO more of a threat to society than any chavs
Posted 1 year ago # -
Dail Mail is for working class what think they're middle class.
Reason - education, if you've got one you'll recognise both papers for the intolerable bullshit they both are.

I'd better not mention that 'the posh bird' is also incredibly hot, with neck down alopecia, and best of all, whispers snippets of Thatchers 1983 election speech when we're having all the sweet sweet lovin!

Middle class read the Daily Mail or Express? Maybe lower middle, but they're working class papers.
Indep, Torygraph or Grauniad are middle class papers.
Times is the paper of the establishment.
Horse and Hounds is a sign of upper class.

See umpteen posts up where I mentioned that the British have an odd sense of class. The Daily Mail and Express are about as middle class as it gets.

Possibly "lower middle class" - whatever the **** that is.
They are for people who think they are too high brow for the Star and The Sun, but struggle with the big words and multifaceted stories in the grownup papers.

Has anyone mentioned Radio4? I listen to R4, and as a result I am labeled as a 'middle class tw*t', which I wear as a badge of honour.
