What class are you?

[Bruce Wayne]

Could never really understand the British obsession with class, but the BBC has a calculator where you can apparently figure yours out.

This won't end well.

New affluent workers
This class group is sociable, has lots of cultural interests and is in the middle of all the class groups in terms of wealth. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group:

Are young
Come from a working class background
Own their own home

Seems fair.

Think I'm remedial.

This won't end well.

Not sure I dare put what the BBC suggested for me.

Emergent Service Worker

This group of class is Financially Insecure, scoring low for savings and house value, but high for cultural and social factors. According to the survey, these people are

- Young
- Enjoy a cultured lifestyle
- Don't own their own home

I'm a poor Paris Hilton apparently

I wish.

Hahaha. My money's on royal.

 

[Groucho]

It says I'm 'technical middle class' but I disagree. I'm from Walton, L4, I grew up with a 'wee bucket' under the bed at night, in what must be one of the smallest houses in the UK - I still say I'm working class. Like Bruce above I've never understood the fascination with class.

7 classes my arse. You either control your own life or you are controlled.

 

[bluejock]

You have to register so already I can't be arsed, even with the offer of a personalised coat of arms.

I'd say I'd probably qualify as middle class now but I had a working class upbringing and worked f*cking hard to get where I am.

I did this this morning.

Emergent Servant Worker.

 

[bluejock]

Right, I'm established middle class apparently.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Not sure I dare put what the BBC suggested for me.

I'm definitely not.
