Working Class.


Rented house, live with parents, low pay job myself, cars are 6 and 15 years old respectively ( doesn't make sense though, a brand new panda or similar will be total rubbish compared to a 740i from 2002 for example).

If I'll be upper class I'll still not buy 3 years or younger cars, I find cars past 2005 ugly as hell generally.
90's cars look so much nicer.

Class is an ancient, redundant categorisation that plays no part in modern society.

I see this had been covered, so feel free to ignore. JUST WANTED TO THROW ME WEIGHT AROUND OMG.
 
I'm working class by your definition because I live in a rented porperty.

You also forgot one - Chav: Doesn't work, has many children.
 
I won't debate you're definitions, I will just laugh at them and then hit the back button.

Oh and don't use double negatives.
 
can't vote because definitions are stupid - oh well, OP could have listened and then the thread may have been more interesting
 
According to these definitions i am Middle Class from an Upper Class family. But will later in life become upper class due to increased wealth.

This is where it totally falls down, you do not move between classes with wealth. I know a lot of wealthy builders (easily millionaires by the old definition, not that this is a significant milestone these days), but they are most certainly working class. Vice-versa i know a lot of well educated hooray's who are not wealthy and may even rent their home, but are most certainly of an upper middle class disposition.
 
As far as I see it, the only people who are truly "upper class" are the royal families, and the hoo-rahs who live in the countryside who haven't had to work a single day's work for generations due to the absolute millions & millions passed down the family, who spend all their days at country clubs, drinking fine cognac, and shooting pheasants.

Everyone who works white collar jobs, regardless of how wealthy they are, are middle class.

Builders/plumbers/labourers in general = working class.

Also, benefit scum don't deserve to be called anything with "class" in their description :p

Click to expand...

Where do certain MP's, Law Lords, Judges and Army Generals fit into that?? Cause there is no way they are middle class.

Oh and the Duke of Westminster works. He is also one of the richest people in England, yet by your definition he would be middle class??

In fact, your definition is silly and i'm going to stop responding now. :p:D
 
Middle class here.

Car under three years old? Does that mean if I owned a 1950s Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing for example, I'd fail to qualify for middle class? :p
 
Label me them mr label maker.

Dad - Manufacturing engineer, stannah stairlifts
Mum - Low paid admin worker
House - Mortgage of about £100k, just over.
Cars - 01 citroen xsara vtr, 03 renault laguna 1.6
Area - Average, not rough or posh or suburban, just average.

I don't see myself as middle class personally, i've always seen that as a bad thing, living in some suburban place where everyone has shiny new ford mondeos and works in an office. The monotony of it is sickening. So personally, i think i'm working class, although my parents try to be middle class.

Also, round here, no one has new cars, i know of 1 person who's parents have a car less than 3 years old. Personally i think you're stupid to buy a new car for the depreciation.
