I suppose there's a lower & upple middle class as well but most people in those groups would probably just say middle

[Niamh.]

Working class, lower middle class, middle class, upper class

lower class is higher than working class? actually this whole class system confuses me:conf:

edit: I read that wrong lower middle class ah ok what would be the difference between lower middle class and middle class then?

That doesn't make you Upper Class, unless it's Charterhouse, Cheltenham Ladies College, Eton, Harrow, Marlborough College, Rugby School, St Paul's, Stowe School, Wellington College, Westminster School, Winchester or Wycombe Abbey School ..... ;)

[Shaun]

lower middle with delusions of grandeur

[Omah]

Ewww

In the United Kingdom, entry to the upper class is still considered difficult, if not impossible, to attain unless one is born into it. Marriage into upper-class families rarely results in complete integration, since many factors raise a challenging barrier between the upper, upper middle, and middle classes.

Apparently, Kate's family will NEVER be invited for a weekend on one of the Queen's estates, even after she's married William .....

In their millions :

Identified as emerging in the 1990s, this group consists of the long-term unemployed, single-parent families and elderly pensioners, dependent on state benefits. Many would be in public housing or council estates.

[Jords]

Lower middle class.

[lostalex]

I was raised upper middle class financially, but i have been exposed to all classes.

I don't work, so I could call myself lower class, but i don't need to work, so i could call myself upper-middle class.

It's a hard question to answer. I'm highly educated, and i speak well but I don't earn anything, and i live modestly.

I'm the brat-class I think. I'm the successful baby-boomer's child class.

I certainly can't be considered poor or working class(especially because i don't work), but ofcourse because i don't earn my own living, I can't be considered any class higher.

Perhaps I am simply classless? lol (pun intended)

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

LOL. You're usually the predator. Some boy offers you it on a plate and you sh!t bricks!

[Jamie.....]

Id say probably lower-middle.

[Boothy]

Probably classed as middle-class financially, but I prefer to think of myself as working-class.

Speaking stereotypically, middle-class people annoy me. The sort who wear Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister and brands like that. The people who look down their nose at you because 'daddy' can pay for everything, and talk in that false 'posh' accent.

It's like they've got something to prove.

I know not every middle-class person's like that but I've got a fair few of them at my college.

Sounds more like you are describing upper class people to me. Middle class people, if you want to generalize, are the completely ordinary people who are so depressingly normal it frustrates them so they go all anti capatalist, or become emo, or buy from Topman because bright orange T-Shirts with black and white photos of Judy Garland or Charles Manson on them just plain ****ing rock.

My parents are very working class but sort of maybe moved up the ranks cos they have decent jobs? God knows, but would say working class, definitely have that attitude.

Is there only 3 classes? working, middle and upper?

No, there's also the Underclass populated by feckless parents, feral thugs, benefit scroungers and criminals - this class is often wrongly called Working Class. I would say the clue is in the name:rolleyes:

I consider myself working class, and I'm proud of it - I don't think the world owes me a living, and neither do I expect to keep others who can't be arsed to work.

I agree with you. Private education doesn't mean you are upper class, or even, middle class I don't think anyhoooo !!

I grew up in early years in a council estate with absolutely nothing, with parents who worked like dogs.

A change in family circumstances meant that I latterly benefitted from private education - but I was still from working class background.

Now? Far as I'm concerned, still working class. Might have the nice house, nice car, good job, reasonable salary that allows the trapping of 'middle class lifestyle', - but I work for an employer - may be a white collared worker, but even so.... that I still consider 'working class'.

These days more and more working class kids get the chance of a private education. Both my sons went to private schools from age 11 - the eldest one in 1996 when he got a then Assisted Place and the youngest three years later on a full scholarship. If they had not gone to private schools, they both had grammar school places as back up.

Yep. Let's be honest - the vast majority of 'working class' today, have a far better lifestyle than what was regarded as the 'working class' of generations ago and that in turn has brought about higher aspirations with the financial means to obtain what previously was simply unaffordable.

How many people still live in council homes, as tenants but have several members of family living there, some attending private schools, some with very good jobs, several cars parked outside, wearing designer clothing, long haul holidays (or any foreign holidays) etc.

I agree that my lifestyle is far easier than that of my parents, and I look around my home at possessions that would have been in the realms of fantasy when I was growing up.

However, I still consider myself working class because of those values of self sufficiency, hard work and independence that were instilled in me and which I have passed on to my own children. In fact I would be offended if I were to be called middle class, perhaps because in my own experience I have found that those who are eager to be social climbers often forget where they've come from and adopt pretentious attitudes and behaviours that are designed to try and make others feel inferior or invoke envy.

Oh... I know quite a few people who 'think' they are middle class when in fact they are nothing (as you say) but pretentious, egotistical, snobbish gits - with their roots firmly planted in the working class. They simply can't accept that they are working class and often have an air of inverted snobbery - looking down their noses at the very 'class' that they belong to.

Exactly. Some working class jobs are allright. If I get paid and can get by in life and I am content or happy then that's all that matters to me. Suppose I have potential to move up the ladder in the future but that would mean a more stressful job! I am happy with the money I get. I just hope I don't get my working hours cut down :nono:

[Beastie]

I would also say the majority who go to private schools are from upper class families. Well rich families.

I do think the odd few who went to private schools may come from middle class families. Parents who would rather save so much money to provide their children with a better education. A bit like when the Websters sent Rosie to a private school for a short period of time on Corrie. However in real life families would have to be wealthier than the Websters to get their sprogs into private schools.

Yeah I do too. Even some of the nicest people I know have this bizarre default belief that humans in general are a bad thing. Nah, we are a lovely bunch. A few ***** but most of us are altruistic, interesting folks.

[sooty]

I always used to think we could not judge a person's class by the their profession alone.

I clearly remember a conversation I had about "class" with my colleague in the late 70s.

She had a boyfriend who was a Polytechnic (University now) lecturer who had degrees in various fields and subjects.
Even though he was well educated, was working in a good profession, and had lawyers and accountants among his close friends, I was surprised to hear he had told her that, he still considered himself working class.

The reason being that his father was a postman and he was brought up in a working class environment.
He said to her that his third generation might be able to call themselves middle class if they continued to keep a good education and professional jobs.

I remember when Sarah Ferguson was engaged to Prince Andrew, she was introduced as upper middle class background.

But then again, these days there seems to be something called the under class or something, so I would not know the current class system in this country.
