Poll: The Great British class calculator

[dannyjo22]

lol over 50% of people on OCUk are new middle class or higher at the moment... Yet its still one of the biggest, racist, moron crowdz on the interwebz

Maybe the percentage will come down when you leave a place you think is so moronic. After all your post is one of them

 

[alexakasloth]

Emergent Service Worker... sounds right, only just started saving within the last year, graduated a year and a half ago. Just got to keep saving...

 

[Housey]

Touche!

I would have said Electron, but I am an Elite so I needed to go top draw.

Technical Middle Class

About right but i've become a lot more social in the last 3 years. so i think i just miss out on Established Middle Class

 

[Dave]

Elite apparently, not entirely sure how as I'm a PhD student who (of course) doesn't own a house! I think the savings / liquid cash available is a bit flawed and should be set much higher - we have quite a bit of savings as we're saving for a deposit on a house in London.

 

[Mickie]

New affluent worker.

After paying for my business i don't earn that much but i'm buying a house and have savings and have friends that don't clean for a living.

Technical Middle Class. Well I work at a bank in finance and I spend my free time at the pub with a lot of 'interesting' characters so I suppose it fits. Plenty of cash but I don't really spend it on socialising.

Established middle class

 

[DazQ87]

Technical middle class, seems about right, I work as an engineer and have a mortgage.

 

[manic111]

Emergent service worker - sounds about right, I don't own a flat and have just gone back to university to study law. In fact, those three words pretty much sum my life up!

 

[Tunney]

Elite, but probably only because I own a house in London.

 

[McBain]

Emergent service worker.

AKA : Peasant

 

[eddiemcgarrigle]

Apparently I'm also Elite. A combination of social media, friends and lifestyle has propelled me into a class that would have nothing to do with me, not that I would be bothered.

 

[PGdude]

Apparently Established Middle Class but I have no money I'm a student what is this.

 

[Tunney]

Wait, has anyone made a Dungeons & Dragons joke yet?

 

[Hatter The Mad]

What do you think to the example of a friend of mine, a bricklayer by trade, also skilled in electrics. Has bought a few houses which he has done up and now rents out covering the mortgages, a couple of them paid off outright.

Portfolio equity value exceeding £500k
Likely savings value and savings held in (for example) a classic car >£100k

Day to day the guy works on building sites, manual labour, will drink cheap lager in a wetherspoons(!), shops in Tesco.

Nothing wrong with any aspect of his personality, he is perfectly comfortable with his roots, but he would never call himself anything more than working class....

He isn't working class. He is a land owner and I presume lets houses out to other people. He might like to think of himself as working class, in a romantic fantasist way like John Prescott thinks himself, but that he most certainly aint.

 

[platinum87]

Money - Don't have enough
Cultural - Don't want BS
Social - Don't want any

So i am a pleb.

 

[Bear]

Haha we come out as elite which was quite a surprise as my wife and I are both council estate born and raised but have managed to do well for ourselves later in life.

 

[Begbie]

Emergent service workers

 

[paddy]

4x as many Technical Middle Class on this forum than the average. There's a surprise...
