can't really label yerself middle class if you either don't own your own company (modern version of landowners from way back) - living off what other people working for you bring into the business, or holding professional qualifications (doctors, the clergy, lawyers etc.).

I'm a bog standard minion tbh - and I consider most here to be members of the proletariat

why do you seem so obsessed with the middle/upper classes, BG? is it something you aspire to be? must be the 5th or 6th thread you've made about class in the last few months.

Form is temporary, class is permanent

I think BG definitely aspires to be middle class and his threads are an extension of this. The issues he raises are all the kind of things he imagines that middle class people sit and talk about, instead of watching the telly with their tea on their laps.

I went to a public school. Sadly for those with a chip on their shoulder, I don't hunt coal-miners at weekends and breed with my immediate family.
