Are you middle class?

...And what makes you middle class? I was browsing through over on The Other Side, and they've got a similar thread.

I don't know when I think about myself. I think it's harder to define what middle/working class is nowadays. Most people own homes (with a mortgage), have had university education etc.

Oh! Those Red Cross coasters.
I have one right next to the pc as I type blush

I threw out a large mahogany coffee table because someone put drinks on it without using coasters and left white marks which wouldn't come out.
I expect some 'posh' person then bought it from the charity shop.

We do have some other mahogany furniture which is nicely chipped though.
But it is not antique (yet).

Surely an American style fridge/freezer is very useful if you live in the country (where many of the County set reside d'you know) as one can stock up well between visits to Waitrose.

My fridge magnets are on the freezer in the utility room

Ditto Nfk - except I should say were as DGD decided they look better on the small fridge in the kitchen and has carefully carried them all through and placed them un artistically there.

My fridge magnets are on the boiler. And yes, there's a coaster with my name on it. According to the Red Cross, I am 'Industrious, practical and hardworking. A lady of many talents. Wrong on every point. grin

My fridge magnets are wherever smallest GC has put them, they keep her happily occupied while I'm cooking.

Traditional working class. With regard to who I know and socialise with.
