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'.
