Why doesn’t everything have to determine your “Class “

I know class has been spiking about a lot on here over the previous thread however I am really interested on why everything seems to
Have a class attached to it. A while ago I was reading a thread about I think the elf in the balloon which was seen as very working / lower class apparently, today the real
Tree being middle class.
Am I the only one who doesn’t even know what “ class “ they belong to and who also doesn’t really think about what someone’s else’s class is based on their cars / Xmas trees / traditions.
I think I would be some where between lower class and upper middle class on paper so doesn’t make sense to me !

I think most people in this country do have a sense of what class they belong to, so yes I would think it a little unusual if you really don't.

I love the English class threads, it's like watching a bunch of clowns wrestle in jelly.

Pointless but strangely funny.

@ellenpartridge to be honest In my “ real
“ world it’s never really spoken about.
like is based on whether you were raised “
Middle class “ or what you are now ?

@FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack haha I have found them very interesting !
It just don’t think it ever comes up In real life on my circle.
If I think about my family, my siblings and myself all have different education levels
/ jobs / income etc
