truman Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hmm, why wouldn't they be working class? Depends what job in the bank they do of course.... No reason at all...Mecky says if you work then you're working class...I wouild imagine that covers about 95% of the population.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Just like you then, only I'm better at it than you. Now go away and sulk Like I say - you resort to abuse. If you tried being a little more civil you may get a better response Mecky but your sole repartee since you appeared on here has been to abuse people who you couldn't agree with. ---------- Post added 08-07-2014 at 16:32 ---------- No reason at all...Mecky says if you work then you're working class...I wouild imagine that covers about 95% of the population.. I'd have said there is room in that 95% though for a professional class, whom I wouldn't call working class at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Shoes Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 You never came across to me as a labout voter. In fact I suspect you're quite the opposite regardless of what you say. Well i wont lose sleep. What is a Labour voter anyway? Do Labour voters even know anymore or do they just vote Labour cause they always have?

discodown Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I vote for who i believe is in the best interests for the country. Political parties are not football teams that you have to be stubborn and stay loyal too.Someone else who has seen the light. Slowly but surely there are more of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Could someone define "working class" please? Its irrelevant what your employment is, If you have to work to sustain yourself then you're working class; so that includes the likes of doctors as well as bin men etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Not an easy thing to do! But the BBC have had a go, have devised a test, and published the results. It's not perfect though http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22000973 What a load of drivel. Just taken the test and it appears that I'm working class. EEEWWW. How dare they? :hihi: I shop at Waitrose don't you know. Love to know what working class means to people though. Or indeed whether people are bothered how they are classified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_Boy Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I think I probably am, big believer in free markets and capitalism but I also like the idea of a safety net for the ill and unlucky and the NHS. I'm also quite liberal when it cmes to law & punishment etc. Live it let live is my moto if you're not hurting anyone then crack on. I don't want a government with too much control and too many laws.

Mister M Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 What a load of drivel. Just taken the test and it appears that I'm working class. EEEWWW.

Or indeed whether people are bothered how they are classified I agree it's imperfect, but I do think issues such as class (and related issues such as what class you're born into, your income, connections etc.) is often overlooked and important. Sadly class is becoming more important in Britain, not less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly class is becoming more important in Britain, not less. I have to take the opposite view there. I cannot claim to be anything other than upper middle class. So is my father and his. My mother was a cut above too and her family really quite "posh" indeed. I have however worked very hard all my life. I socialise with a nurse, a cleaner, solicitors, several builders, business owners and managers, some idle rich, some titled (I even knock about with the occasional estate agent, but don't tell anyone). Back to point.... my father would not have socialised with a cleaner or a decorator or a plaster. He just didn't, and my grandfather wouldn't even have known one. The same is true for many of my public school educated friends who are quite content to socialise with people from occupations that their fathers' would not have done. I really think it is becoming less and less important. Blame Thatcher, she let the "working classes" loose on "people like us" :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anywebsite Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 So someone who works for a bank is working class? Just trying to find out where you think the line is drawn.. I think it's between 'management' & 'workers'. So the counter staff would be working class, as well as others in non-management & non-professional roles, but the manager wouldn't be.
