From a scale of 7 to 10 how middle class is this forum?

[Oxo]

I'm not going to reveal my background, it is classified information.

He didn't see that.

What?

passé...90 day cockerel is much more the thing.

 

[Randomnerd]

It must make it really hard work getting the gist of a thread.

Maybe 39 was an exaggeration, but no, threads are still intelligible. Often more so.

I have a mate who used to wear his jeans with a crease down the front, to me he had no class at all.

Used to have the crease stitched in to my jeans as a teen, Ossie the dry cleaners did a roaring trade.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

I just took the quiz.

Based on the truthful answers I gave, apparently I'm part of the "Established Middle Class"

Trust me, that is utter nonsense.

Ditto.

I thought they were ironic these days.

 

[Tin Pot]

Ditto.

All that means is that you don’t agree with their definition of established middle class, not that the classification is wrong.

 

[Milzy]

I don’t iron any of my clothes. I am the underclass

 

[SpokeyDokey]

All that means is that you don’t agree with their definition of established middle class, not that the classification is wrong.

On reflection I agree that could well be the case.

 

[Julia9054]

I am normal.
Everyone else is either commoner or posher than me.

 

[User33236]

According to a BBC questionaire I did a few years ago I’m “technical middle class”. No idea what that means!!

A better question would be what percentage of forum member are nice friendly caring people. That I feel is more important than a persons supposed class, if such a thing exists.

I’m probably the least caring person I know but still nice and friendly with it

I disagree. They are very specific in their definition of the established middle-class person... And it's not me.

Put it this way; if you had a room full of the people they describe, and put me in it, they'd find a hell of a lot of commonality with each other, whilst I was left on my own to play with the crudités.
