Are you middle class?

Oh dear ab.
Your irony-detecting system must be switched off.

""""""This whole thread is a load of cobblers! """""

Anniebach I understood Anya's comment to be humourous - tonue in cheek

Tend to agree with Anya. It's all a load of bollocks. Why ever do we feel we have to classify ourselves for goodness sake, i am just me, whatever that might mean.

Ewe by gum Coolgran tha's got it one!

Now where's me bicycle clips?

You mean I'm not really a new affluent worker, youthful, thrusting and cultured?

Damn.

Thanks Anya for putting the record straight for me.

With the flat cap, clogs and whippet, could we add a pigeon loft (much loved by the late Queen Mum), drinking tea out of a saucer and wearing a vest and braces in the hot weather.

Yep,snobbery very much in evidence here,bless em,

And so are chips!

I was brought up very working class. With a Grammar school education for H and me and professional qualifications for us both especially H who really achieved a high position I am now very pleased that we have achieved a living standard and way of life that we strived for. I see absolutely nothing wrong or need to apologize for that.

Why in earth do you think apologies are expected annsixty?

Because of previous posts.

Don't really know!

I have't read one post where an apology is asked for, baffling

Whatever.

Sorry for that. I am not usually out of order.

Eee, wot's up me duck?
Dinna fash yerself

Apparently I am 'Established Middle Class'
What a hoot!

Why are some people bristling when we all seem to be agreed the 'quiz' is a load of rubbish?

wot - are you insinuating that I am not Established Middle Class?

I do mean Ana and not wot of course

Eh? I didn't think you were bristling, Jalima!

I'm insinuating nothing...for the record, I am technical middle class according to the quiz, which is apparently a 'new group' so goodness knows what I was before...

Tee hee, no I'm not bristling

What is 'technical middle class'
Does it mean you can help me with my computer when I have problems?

Apparently I'm Traditional Working Class. I can't help feeling that the result has been worked out mainly on financial grounds as being retired we only have our pensions and the house isn't worth a great deal. But does the traditional working class even exist now? People travel, many more are going to university now, nobody spends their life doing exactly what their parents and grandparents did.

If you work, you're working class imo.

I don't work because I am retired.
So I must have moved up the social scale

Depends what you consider traditional working class Deedaa.
