Riche Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Why do people still label themselves, Upper, middle or working class, should we not be judged on something a little more than wealth, career and education. Should we put ourselves into any band for that matter, I for one resist being labelled as such, I'm educated yet ignorant, I've been wealthy and poor, Ive worked in a professional career and with a spade in my hand.

rossyrooney Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Labels will always be attached to people,i live mortgage free,have cars and frequent holidays so i could be termed middle class. But i only arrived in this position by grafting so i consider myself working class. Like you said OP mere labels,you know what you are ....sod the rest that want to tag you.

mediumfast Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 There is a simple test you can carry out so you know your place in society,it was devised on this very forum.If you live in Greystones or west of it you are highly educated ,hardworking and thus upper middle class.If you are unfortunate enough to reside elsewhere you are uneducated and lazy, a drain on society hence a member of the despised working class.Hope this helps!
