Have been talking about this with DH recently - what exactly defines each class? It seems that the hardest to define is the upper middle class - is it anyone who goes to a private school as only 5% of children do attend one, or is it to do with income? So very confusing!
We decided on these:
Lower working class (homeless, job, living entirely off benefits etc)
Working class (manual job, perhaps council housing)
Lower middle class
Middle middle class
Upper middle class
Lower upper class (minor aristos)
Upper class (major aristos, royal family etc)
Is this right??
