What Class do you consider yourself and why?

[geminigirl]

I have always considered myself working class as I work for a living..I've been to university, got a degree and have a professional qualification but recently at work I heard a couple of colleagues speak of themselves as middle class...doesn't really matter I suppose, just interested in opinions!!

Morosky...I have 'Wikipedia-ed' (thats a new one) middle class and tick the boxes but like you I feel working class...well it will stop me getting above myself!

As a teacher I hear Wikpedia-ed all day !

The Oxford English will have to add a few more pages to accommodate these new verbs. God I better watch my spelling and apostrophe placement now...

1 couch
2 living room
3 bog toilet
4 kitchen roll

hey Gem how many milky bars have you dropped ate today

My parents are working class, dh's parents are working class and we have friends who are working class and also friends who are middle class.

I am without doubt working class.

Oh, and it's definitely
1 couch
2 living room
3 toilet
4 serviette ...or yes indeed, kitchen roll will do nicely

Working class and so very proud to be.

Middle clas folk make me well those pretending to be....snobs ugh

True 'posh' folk are a delight and mingle with anyone regardless.They dont give tuppence what people think of them whereas wannabe middle class folk are so up thier own arses

settee
living room (or front room even though now its our back room as front is kids den)
toilet

I agree with every word you've just said!!

Hello teamcullen, I can't even look a milky bar in the eye now! I'm still ! Do you know I've even been trying to think about all the other choccy bars with foil around them and realise that they all have paper backed foil Can you still get Caramac bars?

i want to own this hence i am working class

middle class

Yes chocolatepeanut..you are sooo right..I worked in A private hospital some years ago and found that those who were titled (or proper posh as I would like to call them!) were a much nicer breed of person than those who were nouveau riche and expected me to kiss thier arses and wait on them hand and foot.

Stick a farmfoods sausage on the end and you have made it

Oh custardo, you really have wonderful aspirations!! What would I be if I owned a caraven....(no smart comments please....bite your tongues) a touring caravan I mean.

I work and have worked with middle class folk all my life. I love being working class. They so try to put me down and I am amused that they feel the need to try to!

I see big differences in the parenting style of the middle class people i know too but i will not go into that for fear of being shot!!

Oops, I mean a caravan.

both wc and MC wc - cos too poor to put the heating on

MC cos they iz saving the world or sommat

OOH choco...am listening to sound of a can of worms being cracked open! I wish you would spill please but understand your hesitation...

deffo MC i can almost hear your credit cards ringing as you click the link

Can anyone actually find definitions of all of them? I think I am working class. Am working raising my son on my own and on tax credits - low wage so I dont think I can be this skint and be middle class.

Please go into it chocolate peanuts. I am interested to know what youthink of the difference in styles.

1. Sofa
2. Sitting Room
3. Loo
4. Napkin if it is made of cotton or serviete if it is paper.

I imagine my working class relatives would consider that we are middle class and my middle class friends probably think that we are a little rough around the edges and would label us as working class. Before having ds I would probably have considered us to be middle class but lack of funds since having children means we have slipped down the social ranking and if I had to label myself as anything I would say that we were working class. I really don't care though. Apart from on MN I don't imagine that anyone will ever ask the question!

You're right dollshouse..hadn't given it much thought myself...where I live people are more concerned with your political or religious background! Rather given myself away haven't I?!!
