What class are you?

[OnWednesdayswewearpinkIYKYK]

There are soooo many threads about class that are on this forum. I wondered how people actually identify.

I’m assuming there’s not too many upper class or aristocracy, or even royalty, and only have two options for the vote (I think).

So, YANBU is: Middle class
YABU is: Working class

Please vote! 😁

What Mike Skinner called “Barratt class”

Are you sure you’re not still MC but living in genteel poverty?

My father was a gp, I went to a good university etc.
but I am a single parent of two boys with send, not wealthy, my siblings have financial means and will help if feeling generous. My two older sons went to a goodish state school, one is doing a masters at a RG university, the other is heading the same way
But I am cash, and time poor.

Working class… kids will be middle. I’m still happy to tell anyone and everyone to piss off you’re either a nice person or a twat… Obs being a nice person, regardless of the house, postcode and bank balance, is where we need to focus. Oh and nice does not equal walkover

I’m not really a fan of the modern trend to “identify yourself as” anything. What we like to think about ourselves or identify ourselves as doesn’t really matter in terms of how others perceive us and the opportunities which are open or closed as a result. You can think yourself as middle class as you like because your dad was a doctor and you went to university, but if you’re on benefits and scrabbling about to make ends meet, it’s just self aggrandisement.

Class is irrelevant these days. I don't think young people would have a clue what you were talking about. Today instead of class we talk about money - the haves & have nots.

According to the BBC class calculator (who knew!!!), I'm 'technical middle class'.

I’d say upper middle but others might have different criteria for that.

I can't vote because I'm upper class.

Seriously, what's with the obsession with class on Mumsnet?!

Middle class. Born there, still here. My parents were both professionals (in the traditional meaning) and I also have a professional career. I was privately educated, and am now a homeowner.

I'm arts & crafts me🤣 Heinz 57 weird mix of seriously working class & upper upper bordering on aristo. Family parties were amazing when I was a kid.

Working class. I live in a very middle class house, in a very middle class area. One of our kids went to private school (generous bursary but it still a big struggle) and even went on a Caribbean cruise but I would still class myself as working class. All afforded by working very long and hard hours.

Working class. I come from a very working class area in East London and all my family had relatively low paid jobs, my mum qualified for free school meals when I was young.

I now as an adult earn a decent salary and live in a ‘nicer’ area, but I am still very much (in my opinion) working class. Neither me or DP are university educated (although that’s through choice to be fair rather than means) and we own our home but we paid for it by ourselves after years of working hard.

although I do have a downstairs toilet which I when I was growing up meant you were rich so go me!

Working class, dad was a taxi driver and whilst my mum had a degree she worked as a financial assistant / clerk. My parents owned a modest home and I attended a state school for primary, although I went private for secondary (my GPs chipped in). The odd short haul foreign holiday if business had been good for dad that year, otherwise it was mostly UK breaks at my grandparents.

Probably on the cusp of working class / middle class as an adult, we own a home (however live in a cheap part of the country to achieve this), I am university educated and reasonably paid job in a professional field but I am not exactly a high flyer and have no intention to be, whilst DP has an apprenticeship and works in the trades. Due to where we live / work, most of our friends are probably working class except a few of mine from my university days.

First class

How many times can this question be discussed?!

😅😅😅 Just did this BBC calculator that a pp mentioned. I would describe myself as working class!! And I never told them I listened to classical music or went to private school 🤔😅

.

All are working class except musk,gates,bezos.

Well why not?! 😆

You didn’t need to join in with the thread if it bores you?

Interest, really

😬

I think there is much more mixing of classes now than in previous times.

You are being unreasonable to ask. I am a member of the nobility if it matters.
