to disagree with the Independent's Class "Exclusive"

Apparently 70% of us now claim to be middle class, and they have identified six different types of MC people. They include (full descriptions are on the link above):

Squeezed Strugglers
Bargain Hunters
Daily Mail Disciplinarians
Comfortable Greens
Deserving Downtimers
Urban Networkers

AIBU to think that 70% of us can't be middle class, and that several of these types are rather deluding themselves if they think they are? Or are my perceptions of middle class very out of date?

I think Ryoko is right about the chav thing leading less people to identify themselves as working class.

Yes, being working class definitely seems to have very negative connotations now, compared to years ago.
