Would that make me middle class then?

Like with all the classes you get the very intelligent and the very stupid. I'd say that due to social structures the very intelligent from the upper classes are more likely to rise to the top, but at the same time due to the perceived arrogance of the upper classes the very stupid are going to come across much more than your average idiot.

But your statement saying that the young upper classes are in general idiots is so incredibly wrong its untrue.

I dunno. Do by upper class we mean 40k+ quid a year or 400k+ quid a year?

retired_kimmymarlo

surely the latter and not the former

retired_may0gan

class isn't defined by income or else hello wayne rooney-smith-smythe

retired_traci29

Does where you live count?
I'll name a few of my things ;
I live in a place where houses sell for over £700,000
I've got a 6 person jacuzzi in the back garden.
For Christmas, between me and my brothers, we are getting a Wii, XBOX Elite+Live and a plasma.
My dad has recently thought of buying a new BMW.

I don't like to be called upper-class but with the facts I can clearly see we are, though my dad won't tell me how much he makes.

owning a plasma TV and a 360 Elite being ammunition for calling oneself upper class

sorry guv, you're describing comfortable middle-class American life here.

surely the latter and not the former </BLOCKQUOTE>

Neither ffs.

Upper class = aristocracy. You're born into it, it's a tiny class.

The people this thread is talking about are most likely upper middle class.
