Derish Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thanks for taking the time to explain this. Judging by what people around me wear and drive, I seem to be right there with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 The class system has changed over the last to 3 decades. We used to be classed according to the occupation of the parents (the father typically), hence I will always be working class. The working class was further sub divided into skilled and unskilled sections. With the advent of new technolgies, the classifications have altered, but the divisions still exist http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22007058 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bippo Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I've always defined myself as Working Class - certainly the family I've come from. However with the wider 7 classes neversaydie shared I seem to fall under Established Middle Class. I now feel dirty... There's a calculator of sorts you can take a look at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22000973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to be Elite before long, though!! The calculator calls me an 'Emergent Service Worker'... supposedly that makes me young and with a cultured social life (I watch a lot of movies and play video games), but I think it's a woefully inadequate load of bollocks, myself!!

bippo Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yes I would agree it's a load of crap that calculator. I think mine is because I socialise with a lot of lawyers (one of the options) - but only because I work with them! Alas, I do not have their brains or money...
