Poll: What Class are You ?

[Christo]

Class has nothing to do with salary - I am not sure where these definitions have come from! (Made up obviously).

 

[rmuir]

Yes, but in reality no one agrees with anyone else's definitions of classes.

True, but does that not only tend to happen in the case of people who are categorised in a lower class than they believed they belonged?

I knew a guy who for years insisted he was the most working class, but by any standard he was middle class. Private owned detatched house, 2 cars, mother ran business dad was a manager/department head in an office environment and together they would have take home in the region of 100k.

Did he by any chance had fairly right-wing politics? I ask because right-wingers seem to be the worst at this sort of reverse-snobbery: "I'm just a working bloke/ordinary person" etc. Left-wingers are usually just guilty about being middle class so they admit it.

Agree. It works both ways.

Not that that I can remember, in fact if my memory serves me well he was not THAT politically motivated. He saw it as a 'cool' thing to be working class ...

There are still some excellent debaters amongst us.

Yep - plenty of master-debaters on this forum.
