If you’re on stw, you’re almost certainly middle class.

To me its mainly defined in terms of work – white collar worker = middle class. However its a damn sight easier to say someone is middle class than to define why.

Classy. Erm. Apparently.

I would most definitely not say that this is the case.
It’s not defined by money.

I’m not sure what is middle class though. The closest I can come up with is a something woolly and self deafening like “middle class is subscribing to the ideals held by the middle class”. The class thing is a bit of a bollocks way to identify yourself or others in todays socity imo.

The majority of people are middle class now.

If a dilemma is the household is the stopper from your hip flask getting stuck under the breadmaker*

*pook, 2010.

Actually…

Upper class: breadmaker = ms tibbs, the cook
Middle: Panasonic bm3
Lower: lidl

You’re middle class if you unnecessarily embelish your sentences 😉

So what are pronstars?

Porking class?
Under-class?

One might have one car, and the other three?

If you correct people just to appear clever, then you’re wankyclass.

So two cars each then

No, I had one (and bought my 2nd not long after moving out), housemate one had 3, housemate two had 1. All cars (apart form my midget) under 3 years old.

Achievement of tertiary education.
Holding professional qualifications, including academics, lawyers, chartered engineers, politicians and doctors regardless of their leisure or wealth.
Belief in bourgeois values, such as high rates of house ownership and jobs which are perceived to be “secure”.
Lifestyle. In the United Kingdom, social status has historically been linked less directly to wealth than in the United States,[3] and has also been judged by pointers such as accent, manners, place of education, occupation and the class of a person’s family, circle of friends and acquaintances.[4] [5]
Cultural identification. Often in the United States, the middle class are the most eager participants in pop culture whereas the reverse is true in Britain.[6]
