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.

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

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

I have always considered myself Elite.....Although not for the reasons stated above

Others consider me very Dangerous, bordering on Deadly... 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!!

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...
