Dossers are 'sub human scum' class

If I won a lottery I don't think I'd give a hoot what people want to classify me as.

Born scum, always scum.

money wont make a silk purse out of a pigs ear.

to me, categorising somebody into a class is classless. The only thing worth noting is how a person acts. That defines their class to me.

What you've shown there is a lack of basic understanding, typical pleb.

The class system is all but dead nowadays though, due to a high amount of social mobility.

Nah that would be the scrouging class

. I'd say that "commoners" would be more working class tbh but maybe thats just me

Class is nothing to do with wealth, you could be virtually penniless and yet still be upper class (and there are people who are).

Give us an example, because I doubt that you do.

Irrelevent because it was never about money.

RomanNose · 29 Apr 2011 at 16:52

The class system is more to do with how you were brought up less to do with how much money you have in your pocket.

'Commoners' are working class I thought?? They are the most common social group in the country.

Class isn't just defined by money, its defined by attitude as well.

LOAM · 29 Apr 2011 at 16:53

One doesnt become upper class gentry, your born there or given a title. Rich folk who think they are, are simply new money. I guess in time your family could become upper class but it would take generations.

My understanding is as follows:

Working class = Most jobs i.e. admin, drivers, sales
Middle class = Professionals i.e. teachers, doctors, executives
Upper class = Titles i.e. Lords, Dukes, Ladies

Vonhelmet · 29 Apr 2011 at 16:57

The class system doesn't really exist in the same way these days.

That's the modern day take. The more traditional one is about your family and its history i.e. what your grandparents did and how they lived. As well as how you live and how you behave which comes only from how you were brought up.
