I mean compared to some other countries. Class seems another stupid pointless why to try and define people. Shouldn't matter.

Even the so called poor and stupid are doing alright. Look at that philpott bloke. Creaming it.

Established Middle Class.

Seems like a load of bollocks. It seems as soon as you go to the opera and listen to classical music you are elite?

I'm Established Middle Class apparently

"Established Middle Class: Members of this class have high levels of all three capitals although not as high as the Elite. They are a gregarious and culturally engaged class." - Although I don't think that's me at all

Do classes even really exist?

Like someone said earlier, Philpott was 'earning' 60k a year from his 300 children and dentally sound partner, which makes no sense..

It seems like a load of rubbish to me.. I took it, came out elite.. but there's some elements of my life that are scruffy and quite frankly about as far from elite as you can get!

... Just the BBC's web team having some budget left over and nothing to do I think..

The lines no longer exist - someone that earns 100k a week and is dragged along to the Opera by their missus can be a council estate scumbag i.e. Joey Barton.
