DaBouncer Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I suppose it all depends on what you class as high level. Put it this way, I work as a doorman because I enjoy it, not because I need the £££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of the contributing factors that help define the classes and which one we fit into. When all said and done anyway, it really makes no difference. I just have to dispute comments like "anyone who works is working class" because they are clearly wrong. PS. Whats a BWM? Never seen one of those on the road before...

There are plenty of people in Sheffield who aren't working class, whether you like it or not. Drive up to Ecclesall, Fulwood, etc, and try telling a few people how working class they are, see what their response is. You could even get a lift up in your "BWM"...

*Twinkle* Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 To the best of my knowledge, class is defined by these types of things: * accent * clothing * the newspaper you read * education * occupaton * where you live * interests Some of these seem a little daft, eg: newspaper, but basically they are cultural signals to sociologists....

(Don't blame me if you disagree, blame the Letts study guides!) I agree. What I don't understand is that those people who think I have some kind of problem with them are the ones who seem to have the biggest problem accepting that Sheffield does have middle class people living in it, whether they like it or not.
