What class are you?

Working class but living a middle class lifestyle...

Nice comment. What a hero...

Its easy, if you work, you are working class.

If you are independently wealthy then guess what......................?

No, this isn't true. You can work and be middle, or upper-middle even.

You talk about Marx... but didn't he say there were two classes in each epoch (other than the primative)? I ask because you've listed a load of classes...

Marx didn't really believe in classes as I pasted them.

So I combined others too, sorry, I should've been clearer.

I would say anyone who attends a public school was upper class. But there we go.

I attended a public school and I am not upper class. Neither is anyone else on this forum. Upper Class are titled landowners, members of the aristocricy and royalty. Not even Mr Branson or Mr Brown are upper class.

I guess it depends on your definition. I have never though of being upper class as having those requirements. They seem very old fashioned and innapropriate.

Isn't this class rubbish a bit... out of date? I thought we got past all that.

Bad example, he's Sir Branson... so I'm pretty sure is now upper class. Tax-evading upper class at that .

Ok crap example but you know what my point is

The Earl of Wessex is upper class.

Nope, old money is upper class, Branson is new money and will never be upper class. You don't need to be rich to be upper class.

No... it's not about the money in the UK. Or being "nouveau riche".

Urgh...

I don't think that classification is realistic, for today at least. I would say anyone who has large amounts of expendable money, for example, has a luxurious life style or has attended a public school, would fit in as being upper class.

Nope, upper middle. The upper class is by far the easiest to define: you must have inherited a title. You can be poor, rich, working, self-employed or leisured - all you need is the title. You cannot get in without a title - that just makes you a nouveau riche. But still middle class.

Hmm. I guess that slumps me firmly in 'middle' then.
